“@barrybateman: #OscarPistorius Nair if I find it was premeditated, the accused has to show exceptional circumstances to be released. BB”Oluwashina Okeleji
“@BBCAndrewH: #OscarPistorius silently mouths some words in anguish as magistrate mentions possibility of life imprisonment.”Oluwashina Okeleji
Nair: "I cannot completely exclude, if not premeditation, planning." Consider it schedule 6, the most serious offence. Pistorius shakes.David Smith
#OscarPistorius magistrate gives blow to athlete's chances of bail with early ruling on premeditated murder not murder. For now.andrew harding
#OscarPistorius Nair at this point in time, I cannot rule out premeditation. For the purposes of bail - we go Schedule 6. BBBarry Bateman
#OscarPistorius Nair save to say, there doesn't need to be a lengthy period of time for consideration of the act. BBBarry Bateman
#OscarPistorius Nair I'm not going into full discussion of meaning of premeditation. BBBarry Bateman
#OscarPistorius Nair I'm in possession of a charge sheet with a full description of the allegations, I have heads of argument. BBBarry Bateman
#OscarPistorius Nair voting case law on the submission of the note from the DPP.He's making quite a thing of the ascence of this. BBBarry Bateman
#OscarPistorius Nair I'm perplexed why my job wasn't made easier. But it's not impossible for me to deal with this matter. BBBarry Bateman
If the Pistorius case was in Kenya I think he would have been acquitted by now for lack of evidence. Todate Wanjiru's death nothings clearEvelyn Watta
#OscarPistorius Nair The CPA makes provision for the director of public prosecutions to recommend the schedule. BBBarry Bateman
#OscarPistorius Nair I find it unfortunate that I have been called on to rule on this. I asked Nel why he has not submitted note from DPP.Barry Bateman
#OscarPistorius Nair Roux took issue with each of those items of fact - he says, "so what?" BBBarry Bateman
#OscarPistorius Nair state says only inference is that accused put on prosthesis, armed himself and shot through door. BBBarry Bateman
