Oscar Pistorius Verdict: NOT GUILTY of Murder in Reeva Steenkamp Shooting

Having remained silent throughout his months-long trial, the judge in the Oscar Pistorius murder case reached a verdict to decide the Olympic athlete's fate Thursday:

Pistorius cannot be found guilty of intentionally killing Reeva Steenkamp, the judge ruled. As such, under South African law, Pistorius will not be found guilty of "murder."

 

The proceedings continue, and Pistorius faces other possible verdicts, including culpable homicide, that could still land him behind bars. But not for murder.

The verdict came from Judge Thokozile Masipa alone, as South Africa does not have jury trials. The 66-year-old said she did not come to her decision lightly.

Pistorius gunned down girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013, in what defense lawyers say was a terrible mistake, believing she was an intruder.

State prosecutors argued it was premeditated murder, but a lesser murder charge or negligent killing, both of which call for years in jail, were also on the table.

Experts pointed to Masipa's record of tough action against criminals who victimized women as indicators that she would not be easily swayed by Pistorius' dubious story.

Others describe her as a good listener and a dispassionate analyst of facts, however, so there was truly no telling how she would rule until she did so.

Judge Masipa said Pistorius could not have foreseen that the person he was shooting at, behind the bathroom door, would die, and thus an intent to kill was not proven.

She also said evidence suggests that Pistorius genuinely believed Reeva Steenkamp was still in the bedroom, and that the person in the bathroom was an intruder.

Before she rejected the premeditated murder charge, Masipa questioned why he fired "not one ... but four shots" into the bathroom before he went to find her.

However, she said, his intention to shoot does not necessarily mean the intent to kill, which was enough to clear the athlete of the worst criminal charge.

Shorly before, Masipa cast doubt on some of the witness testimony heard in the six-month trial, and said she believes media coverage contaminated testimonies.

She described the victim's wound as "immediately incapacitating," and said she believed a scream heard by witnesses the night of the killing was from Oscar, not Reeva.

The judge appeared to accept the defense timeline that the shots were fired first, then the screaming that must have been Pistorius, horrified at his alleged mistake.

How To Spot A Fake Abuja Big Boy

These guys are always well-dressed with flashy cars. Some of them are even from rich homes. You see them looking like a bag of money, meanwhile nothing in their bank accounts. 

There is nothing wrong with looking good and not having money to back it up. There is only something wrong when you are doing it for packaging. 

1. Always with the fake accent: Apparently, this is not exclusive to the babes. The male FABBs use all the accents in the world; British, American and Nigerian accent all muddled up in one. If they are talking to a babe who probably lived in the UK with a British accent, their accent automatically changes just to impress. Please, embrace your Nigerian accent, whether it is an Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa accent, be proud of it. You don’t see an American man trying to talk like a Nigerian. 

2. He only dates working girls: This is a highly defining character of the male FABB. They do not date jobless babes. If you don’t have a J -O -B, then it’s onto the next one. They do not want to be bothered about taking care of a babe who’s probably still in school or sharing CV about. That is not in their dictionary of potential girlfriends. Chinenye UgonnaChinenye Ugonna 

3. He drives the flashiest of flashy cars: Warning: Don’t be deceived, the car belongs to their father or uncle. 

4. He always has a political connection: A typical Abuja boy is always related to some politician or influential person. The politicians are always their uncle but hardly ever their father. Sometimes, it could even be a politician they have met once- he becomes their uncle. 

5. He is a mummy’s boy: Most of the rich male FABBs live off the wealth of their family who still pay for everything they own. If you know a guy who lives in a very expensive duplex in Maitama but does not have a regular job, check that guy! They probably even get monthly allowance from their parents every month as grown men. Hey, not judging, you do you. 

6. He immediately introduces you to his family/friends: Imagine you meet this nice looking guy in Abuja, and before you know it, he has introduced you to his family and friends. In your mind, you are thinking that you are an iyawo (wife in the Yoruba language), not knowing you are girlfriend no. 9. 

7. He spontaneously proposes to you after a short period of dating: They tell you that you are a wife material or even propose marriage so they can be living off their new working class babe. You would cook, clean and before you know it, you have turned to their provider. Their food, shelter, and clothing would be taken care of by the working class babe. They start with “Please, borrow me N10, 000, I would pay you back.” Next time, it’s N20, 000 and then it keeps increasing. Of course, the babe will never get her money back. If you are guilty of this, it’s not good o! It should be a joint effort. 

8. He only remembers his babe on Thursdays: This is the time to remember all the hook-ups they have forgotten from Monday to Wednesday. They need to get a babe to turn up with during the weekend. If Halima doesn’t respond, Salewa will. After all there are many fishes in the sea. 

9. He doesn’t have a proper job: This is not referring to the guys who genuinely work/hustle for their money from Monday to Friday to make ends meet. Thumbs up! This is for the guys who claim they work during the week but people still cannot point a finger on what they do. On Friday, they would be the first to update their status with: “Turn up weekend, TGIF”. 

10. He’s always the first to pop bottles in the club: They are always the first to order bottles just to impress. When it’s time to pay, they would remember they have to go to the bathroom. It’s not by force to pop champagne. After popping and being forced to pay, they come home to eat noodles. Bear in mind that the money would have bought you a nice plate of jollof rice and a big fat chicken.

OMG!!!!! Man Discovers Wife Is A Man After 19 Years Of Marriage

 

A 64-year-old Belgian man identified only as Jan has been fighting for the courts to grant him an annulment and permission to evict his wife of 19 years from their home after discovering that she was actually born a man.

"I feel I've been assaulted," Jan reportedly told the Het Nieuwsblad newspaper, describing the discovery that his Indonesian wife, Monica, is a transsexual. The news was such a shock that he is reportedly undergoing psychiatric treatment.

Jan and Monica reportedly met in 1993 when the woman came to Belgium to work as an au-pair for Jan's sister.

"My second marriage was on the rocks at the time and we quickly fell in love," he said.
The couple got a long well, and Monica, 48, was like a "big sister" to his two children from a previous marriage, according to Jan.

"I brought her to Belgium. That was not easy. The Belgian courts had serious doubts about the authenticity of her birth and her identity papers, but eventually they accepted it anyway. I thought she was an attractive woman, all woman. She had no male traits," he explained.

Jan revealed that there were no clues even during moments of intimacy betraying Monica's biological gender, and that his wife had even pretended to menstruate, using sanitary napkins to "to conceal the truth."

It wasn't until recently, after two years of conflict over Monica's full-time job and late night partying, that Jan learned the shocking truth from one of his wife's relatives.

The 64-year-old Belgian reportedly shared the news with his son, who confirmed that he had heard similar rumors. In addition to the revelation, Jan had discovered "amorous messages" from other men on Monica's computer, according to British publication the Telegraph.

"One evening I confronted her and she finally confessed she had been born a boy and had a sex change operation," Jan said, according to the Daily Mail. "My world collapsed in a few seconds. I was horrified. I feel like have been violated for almost 20 years."

The Telegraph reports that the moment of confrontation between Monica and Jan was heated and led to a physical altercation with the police having to be called to their home.

"I pushed her against the wall and said: 'Now I know the truth. Are you a man?' She then announced that she was born as a boy and that she had been operated on. She was now a woman, and so she did not need to tell me about her past as a man. My world collapsed. That evening came to blows," Jan explained.

While awaiting the decision of the courts to annul his marriage, Jan has been denied a request to have Monica forcibly removed from their home.

In the meantime, "We live in separate rooms and rarely speak," he said.

Mysterious statue of Satan with a massive erection appears in Canada(18+ Photos)

A large statue of Satan that seemingly erected overnight in East Vancouver in Canada has been taken down by city officials after raising eyebrows.

It was removed from a Vancouver park. The devilish figure with an erect penis was mysteriously erected overnight Monday, prompting city crews to remove it Tuesday afternoon because it was not officially commissioned by the city.

A large Satan statue that depicted about a nine-foot-tall, anatomically-faithful figure of a red-skinned Satan, complete with horns and a visibly prominent representation of a phallus. The statue holds one hand up in a devil-horn salute and according to officials.

No one has claimed responsibility for the naked Satan, according to CTV News. But the bulging Beelzebub was quickly removed because city officials weren't exactly nuts about it.

“The statue was not a piece of city commissioned artwork and consequently it has been removed,” Sara Couper, a City of Vancouver spokeswoman, told GlobalNews.ca.

City officials haven't said what they plan to do, but a man named Mike Granger has started a petition on Change.org asking it be given to him for inclusion in an "Odditorium" he runs, according to the Winnipeg Sun.

Kim Kardashian: Betrayed by Her Sisters?

According to the latest issue of Life & Style...
 Kim Kardashian has gotten the boot from her family!

It’s unclear what happened, but some kind of “ultimate betrayal” has torn Kim apart from Kourtney and Khloe, according to the editors at Life & Style, that is.
The cover also claims that Kim has quit Keeping Up with the Kardashians in order to start her own “empire” with Kanye West, costing her siblings a “fortune.”
The tabloid also promises to reveal something you’ll NEVER see on television, along with the reveal of the family’s “biggest secret.”
We wonder what it could be.
Too bad we'll never find out, considering the low odds of any word in this story ringing remotely true.

Kim Kardashian Posts Obnoxious Facebook Photo: Look at My Huge Ring!!!

Kim Kardashian is all about showing off her gigantic assets on the Internet.

Over the weekend, Kardashian gave Instagram followers a look at her large cleavage.

And now, courtesy of a new Facebook photo, the obnoxious reality star has flaunted her wealth in the face of virtual friends by flashing her enormous bling.

"Diamonds are forever," Kim wrote as a caption to the following image.

Isn't that just so precious, people? Kanye West gifted Kim with such a large diamond that it shines like a full moon.

We have no idea what there is to Like about this picture, but (tragically) over 10,000 users apparently disagree with our assessment.

Kim, meanwhile, was NOT part of the celebrity nude photo hacking that rocked Hollywood last week, though sources say she's concerned about her privacy someday being invaded.

The star herself even hinted that another Kim Kardashian sex tape (with her husband this time) may actually exist and that she's afraid of it going public.

You know, because the last one caused such problems for her career and everything.
