Oscar Pistorius' verdict changed to murder by appeals court

Will have to report for resentencing
quote:
South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that the lower court did not correctly apply the rule of dolus eventualis - whether Pistorius knew that a death would be a likely result of his actions.
Reading the ruling reached by a panel of five judges, Justice Lorimer Leach said that having armed himself with a high-calibre weapon, Pistorius must have foreseen that whoever was behind the door might die.
Pistorius' lawyer argued that he believed that there was an intruder in the house but the judge said that the identity of the person behind the door was irrelevant.

What a fricked up justice system, how can you be resentenced after you've been convicted and served time?

That is insane, especially for RSA. So there is no defense for self-defense in a country as crime-ridden as RSA?

That he made no attempt to find out who was in the bathroom (like his girlfriend never goes?), he fired several shots (indicates rage), the evidence says to me he intentionally shot his girlfriend.

Personally, I wish the US Justice System had the ability (or the balls) to act as such. The fact that a person who is obviously guilty of a crime can be found innocent simply because of a technicality such as a glitch in the documentation of means of obtaining evidence is complete bullshite.

I was all for him being ruled guilty in the beginning, but at this point this seems pretty fricked up.
Though, I always wanted OJ to be convicted after he got away with murder, so maybe I'm just racist
