At last, the South African justice system is finally ready to complete its long-drawn out process. In my humble opinion, if he is not in jail tonight, then we will have another OJ Simpson on our hands.

Agree with you 100% Mikey .......... The way it has gone I reckon he'll get away with it, the judge must've heard a different trial to millions of others all around the world!!

[bibblebub]

Did the doctor currently under examination give evidence at the trial? She sounds very unreliable.

[ummmm]

It's nothing like OJ. We know Pistorious killed her.

[RATTER15]

Apparently they wont need bars to keep him in prison, just a cattle grid at the gate!!

Sorry. Mikey, There are three days set aside for the hearing this week. It’s possible that Judge Masipa may be ready to hand down sentence by Wednesday, but she may also adjourn the court again to consider the evidence and set another date for sentencing thereafter.

Jomlett is right Mikey, I wouldn't hold your breath. A Sky TV presenter has just announced "Today is the FIRST day of the Oscar Pistorius' sentencing hearing."

[mushroom25]

he won't be going to jail.

Jomlett

How do you manage to submit text in italics?

[janbee]

I'd be surprised if he gets any kind of lengthy custodial sentence.
As you say Mikey, this has been dragging on and on for such a long time.

Oscar will get seven years.

Remember me when the sentence is annou...

Hmmm - I've just realised how gruesome I'm being.

I withdraw (unless of course, I'm right with my prediction).

[mikey4444]

Its unbelievable that this is going to strung out over another 3 days ! He has already been found guilty and the the Judge has had plenty of time over the last few weeks since giving her verdict to mull things over.

SP1814 - you put a lower case i in square brackets before and after the text. But it is a bit flaky on this site, and also won't work more than once per post

[ladybirder]

[ i ] I hope you're right sp [ i ]

[ladybirder]

I was trying to remember how I did it and I can't. Obvously. Damn.

[ladybirder]

Can't spell either.

[lady-janine]

italics are square bracket uppercase I square bracket at the beginning and then repeat at the end.

[BlackadderV]

Don't leave a space between the brackets and the i

[Canary42]

Judge got the verdict wrong - small chance for a suitable sentence then.

[ladybirder]

So what did I do wrong at 10.54 LJ please?
