A friend of Oscar Pistorius has said the Paralympic star is "on the verge of suicide" following the incident last month in which he was charged with the premeditated murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Mike Azzie, who Pistorius refers to as Uncle Mike, said the sportsman was a "broken man" after he was tasked with selling his racehorses to raise money to pay for spiralling legal fees.

[The Straight Story]

1. He doesn't have a leg to stand on

[Mnemosyne]

4. ...

[malaise]

8. DUzy

And isn't that the truth

[MrSlayer]

2. Trying to get away with murder is an expensive proposition.

Perhaps he should have considered this before doing the deed. No sympathy.

[malaise]

9. Same here

Not one shred of sympathy from me

[Gman]

3. I'm not convinced he's guillty

nor am I convinced he's innocent.

[Liberal_in_LA]

5. he is guilty

[Control-Z]

13. Same here. (nt)

[mythology]

14. I suspect he's guilty

but I also think that this should go through the legal process to see if there's than is now known.

I think his explanation is rather ludicrous, but I also don't know what it means to live in South Africa under his circumstances nor whether he's got an undiagnosed mental illness that might mitigate his ability to rationally assess the situation he was in that night.

And part of me wonders if his story is so silly that maybe it's actually what he believes happened. I mean if I were going to try to create a lie to cover up a murder, I would hope I could come up with something more plausible.

But the thing with the lead investigator makes me wonder about the competency of the police.

15. he's guilty of something

but I'm not sure if it's premeditated murder or culpable homicide. That is what the courts will determine.

[Kalidurga]

6. poor baby...

I don't care if he has to sell everything he owns and then gets a new address in prison.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. I wonder if he has a call in to OJ asking for defense strategy.

[left on green only]

10. He did

The J man told him to sell his race horses and buy a Bronco.

[Javaman]

21. Zing!

LOL Good one!

[JI7]

11. fuck him

[Submariner]

12. self delete

[niyad]

16. am I understanding this correctly? he is "a broken man, suicidal", NOT because he murdered

his lover, but because he has to sell his racehorses because he murdered his lover? a truly worthless pos.

[petronius]

18. I don't read it that way: the article says that the man who has been tasked

with selling the horse (presumably the reason he met Pistorius) described Pistorius as "broken" - due to the entire situation, not the sale of the animal.

But he should be broken, he killed someone - and at the very least-culpable end of the spectrum it was 'merely' a stupid negligent mistake. So I'm not feeling any sympathy for his emotional pain here...

[niyad]

20. the man is described as a friend called "uncle mike". quite frankly, the way the article read

in the op, he was suicidal because of having to sell his racehorses. and, given the situation, I can see him putting on an act for sympathy (especially with that show).

if he is feeling suicidal about murdering his lover, it's about time. do the decent thing, oscar.

[Javaman]

22. Sociopaths are like that.

In some ways he reminds me of Lance Armstrong, in other obvious ways, like John Wayne Gacey.

[Raine]

17. IMO he's suicidal & feeling guilty for what he did, now the reality has hit home. His life is

ruined . Not that I'm sympathetic because from what I've heard he was abusive. My sympathy is for the victim.

[cliffordu]

19. Ya know - a colt .38 with one bullet in it could save a lot of $$ for trial.

Let the fucking idiot kill himself and everyone is satisfied that the bad guy got justice.

Just sayin'.

Due process indeed.

23. Encouraging him "to do the honorable thing", a mainstream approach

on Qo'noS. May he rot in Gre'Thor!
