An attempt to create sympathy for a murderer
23 June 2024
I went into this open minded, but within the first 5 minutes it was evident the whole series was going to be incredibly one sided. It should have been called "Poor Oscar." This is one more series that glorifies murderers, instead of representing both sides.

Oscar Pistorius is not the victim, despite that narrative being pushed through this series. He murdered Reeva. SHE is the victim.

There is no question Oscar overcame nearly insurmountable odds and fought hard to become a successful athlete.

There's also no question that he murdered his girlfriend while she was in the bathroom, shooting her 4 times.

A main theme was how upset he was after he killed her. If he was sincerely upset, why didn't he take responsibility for what he did? Why did he make Reeva's family sit through a devastating trial?

If he truly thought someone was in the house, why did he go straight to the bathroom and shoot instead of checking to see if Reeva was in there? He knew she wasn't in bed. There was history of domestic violence, and he also knew she had been in touch with her ex boyfriend two days before he killed here.
