The Trial Of Poor Little Tink Tink

The murder trial for South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius for the murder of his girlfriend 29 year old model Reeva Steenkamp has been going on and I have been slightly keeping up with it. When I first heard about the crime last year I was like “Why do I know that damned name?” Then I looked it up and said “Oh! Poor Little Tink Tink killed somebody?!” For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about, here is a part of the segment where Katt Williams made this name for Pistorius.

“These hating ass motherfuckers at the Olympic committee let this motherfucker race, and then waited till he won, and then disqualified him and said, and I quote, he had 'an unfair advantage.' “Are you talking about the motherfucker with no goddamn legs? Is that who the fuck you talking 'bout? Don't try to act like something wrong with me, some of you motherfuckers saw the story you know what the fuck I'm talking about, it look like bent back paper clips!”

Oh...

Oscar is accused of murdering his girlfriend in the bathroom of his home. The way the whole situation went down is shaky as hell, and if this were a TV show it would be over and done within 42 minutes. But in the real world people who murder can get away with it if they have a good enough lawyer. I'm not quite so sure if Oscar is gonna get away with this.

He woke up and heard sounds coming from his bathroom. Believing it was an intruder he allegedly screamed for them to leave before firing shots. He then returns to his bedroom and sees “Oh, that hot chick is missing” and smashes his way into the bathroom and realizes that he just fucked up huge. Testimony from people who heard what happened keeps switching but many have said they heard her scream leading to believe that she was alive. One neighbor says he say Oscar praying over her as she died.

About eight guys just broke their fingers rushing to Google a murdered woman.

People are also being forced to figure out if Oscar was wearing his prosthetic legs when he fired into the bathroom. Oscar says that when this all began he had just woken up and was not wearing them but ballistics suggest that the angle of the shots entering the bathroom would show that a person of standing height had committed the crime. If this is the case then the shit is premeditated. Fuckery is abound as the lead detective had to be replaced because he and two other cops were charged with attempted murder after shooting up a minivan in 2011 while chasing a murder suspect. Police also managed to not spot a bullet in the toilet, which seems like very important information to me, but took plenty of pictures of Oscar's medals.

As this trial began there was a witness that says there was arguing that lasted an hour followed by a woman screaming and gunshots. The defense is trying to convince Erf that the screaming was from Oscar, not his soon to be murdered girlfriend and the loud sound was not a gun but Oscar being a hero and trying to break the door down to rescue her. Seems rather shaky to me.

As a pathologist gave testimony about the injuries inflicted on Steenkamp Oscar couldn't handle that shit and threw up in court a few times. The court also got to hear about text messages sent between the two and in one that was sent a few weeks before her murder, Steenkamp said “I'm scared of you sometimes, of how you snap at me.” If you are dating someone and are afraid of them and you also know that they have weapons...leave. Too little too late information I know.

You can tell that this trial is eating this guy up. You never expect to have your ass on trial for murder and have to defend at best case scenario a dumb ass mistake you made and at worst cold blooded murder. This guy is 27 years old and has aged about 10 in the past year since the murder. I have no sympathy for this guy. Don't want anyone thinking I am trying to defend him. But as a professional quarterback psychologist I will go out on a limb and say that this guy has anger issues. You know life had to be hard as shit for a guy that ain't got no legs. He had them removed when he was very little (fibular hemimelia meaning no fibula) and likely was made fun of. No matter how rich and famous or how hot of a chick he was able to get he would always have a chip on his shoulder and feel the need to prove something. It just sucks that someone had to be murdered because of it.

This...is...real.
