Pistorius Guilty of Something: Culpable Homicide

((ht: cbssports.com))

Just one day after declaring that former Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was not guilty of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, a South African judge has found him guilty of culpable homicide.

For those unclear what that means, it's similar to Negligent Homicide in the U.S.

Judge Thokozile Masipa told the courtroom she was not convinced that prosecutors did enough to prove Pistorius shot Steenkamp in the middle of the night at his home on purpose.

Rather, the charges say that Pistorius is guilty of being responsible for her death.

Pistorius is out of jail on bail while awaiting sentencing for the shooting. According to reports, that sentence could be anywhere from fine and probation to 15-years in jail. Sentencing is scheduled for mid-October.

Here's the latest from SABC

Randy Orton Attacked In Southern Hemisphere

And, by that, we mean South Africa...

Dear, faithful reader/viewer...

Work or not a work...???

Randy Orton was celebrating at the end of a match in Cape Town, South Africa when this happened...
((HT: WWE))


The HQ is leaning toward "work..."

Watch the ref and the "event staff" wait before removing the "masked fan..."
Why would the "fan" be wearing a mask...?
The music stops right when the 'fan' low bridges Orton.

And Orton doesn't outright kill the "masked fan..." which he really should have done...

Here's the WWE's response...

WWE.com has learned that Randy Orton was violently attacked by an audience member during a SmackDown World Tour Live Event in Cape Town, South Africa, this evening. Footage of the attack was captured by a WWE fan and posted to YouTube, and shows the perpetrator striking Orton from behind. The matter is currently under investigation by the local authorities, and the South African fan is being held in jail pending criminal charges. The extent of Orton's injuries are unknown at this time.

There is also a thought that this same individual attacked Big E. Langston during the match on the apron...

Let's see where this goes...
