Have taken a lot of grief since my post about #OscarPistorius . He went to jail for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp , which was absolutely correct . The whole case then and now continues to divide people. My views are informed (more than anyone else on SM) because I have been able to study & have access to every piece of evidence, from both sides, spent time to understand the gun culture & violence in SA & also spoken to all concerned parties involved. I don’t for one minute condone or look to minimise or excuse Oscar’s killing of Reeva . But to give an objective informed view . Sentences and Paroles are given for a reason . And those attacking me for having misogynistic views or supporting a killer must also feel the same for every parole board member around the world or judge who gives a sentence that supports, or allows the release of someone convicted of murder .
