...wild-eyed Oscar Pistorius was reportedly overheard muttering to his defense lawyers numerous times during his murder trial Thursday that the burglar who invaded his home on the night of his girlfriend’s death is still out there and determined to come after him. “The burglar is always watching and waiting, and he won’t stop until he gets me,”...

Maybe he's building up an insanity defence for possible future use ... just in case.

The judge said that the prosecution failed to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt.

Was his defence a reasonable cause for doubt? He produced no evidence for why he excluded the possibility that the girl was in the bog. And no evidence for why he should assume that the ''intruder'' was armed, or a danger to his life.

The forensic evidence was pretty clear that the first bullet wasn't the one that killed her, because one of the bullets that were not lethal could only have hit her in a standing position.

So there really was no reasonable doubt. She would have screamed when the first bullet hit.
He couldn't have thought he was killing an intruder.
The judge is a thick cunt. Or maybe it's a political judgement, to keep all sides happy.

But he's got away with murder.

Of course there is no proper legal definition of 'reasonable doubt'.

Thereby fails the entire legal system.
