Ridiculous. Yes, let me fire my gun in someones direction and if the bullets hit and kill them well by God I’m just being negligent.

His whole defense stinks. It’s a black judge vs a white guy. All sorts of stuff would be said if she said it was premeditated by the MSM there.

I think the negligent ruling is roughly equivalent to manslaughter here. The prosecution failed to prove deliberate murder, so this is what they are left with. He is still at risk of a very long prison term.

I didn't follow this closely but a thought that occurred to me...that's *important* to me is...the guy has no legs.It seems that he sleeps without his artificial legs on (don't know if that's typical for amputees).South Africa,including its affluent areas,has a crime rate that makes Chicago or Guadalajara look absolutely idyllic by comparison.His story about thinking that there was an intruder is very plausible to me.It may or may not be true but it has a greater ring of truth to it than do most excuses defendants offer.

The prosecution didn’t have a leg to stand on. Okay, okay, I am embarrassed about this post.

Negligent? What was the negligence - he fired too many rounds?

Tough time for the man, but I'm pretty sure he will land on his feet.

Oh wait...

Brace yourself for this...I suspect he was enraged with her locking herself in the bathroom and said, “you come out now, or I’ll start shooting”

My guess is that the whole episode was the result of a drug soaked night with a little anger thrown in.

In unrelated news, the Judge in this case says that her new BMW fits fine in her new garage.
