Lead Detective Dropped from Oscar Pistorius case; Faces 7 Attempted Murder Charges Himself
The lead detective in the murder case against Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius is facing 7 charges of attempted murder himself, the BBC reports.
Police confirmed that South African detective Hilton Botha was allegedly involved in a shooting two years ago. He was dropped from the sensational murder case that has generated headlines around the world.
Pistorius, a Paralympic champion dubbed “Blade runner” still faces premeditated murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29.
Pistorius’ bail hearing continues today in Pretoria, South Africa. In a statement read to the court by his attorney on Wednesday, Pistorius said he shot Steenkamp three times through a locked bathroom door after mistaking her for an intruder.
Botha faced stiff questioning from Pistorius’ attorney Barry Roux, who forced Botha to admit to several key mistakes in his investigation during a bail hearing for Pistorius on Wednesday.
Botha originally said police found hypodermic needles and Testosterone, a banned steroid, in Pistorius’ bedroom.
But on the witness stand, Botha admitted he misread the label (which may have been intentionally mislabeled). The substance is still undergoing tests in a police lab.
Botha also amended the approximate distance between Pistorius’ mansion and the home of the witness who said he overheard arguing one hour before Steenkamp was killed.
“The poor quality of the evidence offered by investigative officer Botha exposed the disastrous shortcomings of the state’s case,” said Roux.

Bombshell
Miany,no but I thought he had already past
My question is…when a lurker hit Sandra up via email/ twitter/ fb (if it’s working) , etc. what do they hope to accomplish by getting someone banned? Does Sandra ban the poster than give the poster’s log-in to the snitching lurker?? I just don’t get it…maybe cuz I ain’t pressed like the dry snitchers are.

I saw those Chicken and Waffle chips @ Winn Dixie but they were the big bag that was 3.99 and I wasnt about to pay 4 for a bag of chips that I may not like. If there they were the 1.29 bag, then I would have gotten them.

^^^ nope…But I will give it to Lays, they find a chip where it aint a chip to be found…They got some Buffalo wings and blue cheese, pepsi chicken chips, etc…
My question is…when a lurker hit Sandra up via email/ twitter/ fb (if it’s working) , etc. what do they hope to accomplish by getting someone banned? Does Sandra ban the poster than give the poster’s log-in to the snitching lurker?? I just don’t get it…maybe cuz I ain’t pressed like the dry snitchers are.

This is the same question I asked the lurkers yesterday. Smdh.

SOME FOLKS TRIFE POINT BLANK, NOT SURE WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN BUT I READ THE COMMENT THAT SET IT OFF, AND NEXT THING I KNOW FOLKS WERE LISTING THE FALLEN ROSES
What I dont get is that Aunt San KNEW about at least one of them but she let it fly. So y randomly just do a sweep?
@Iam
Chicken and Waffles IS some real shyt. So are Flaming Hots. Salt and Vinegar. Where YOU been? LOL
Diva, it should not be that deep. We must be the extreem cool kids on the cool blog. smh.
MsB
Morning to all playing in the Rose Garden
@diva and @milky who getting this load on they faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Doc
@Miany
Some “pepsi chicken” chips? NO WAY????
Flaming Hots
I have a love for spicy/hot foods!
They do, it’s called the “FAMILY” restroom. Have yall seen those? ANYBODY can
^^^^^^^^^^
YES!! I HAVE, AT BABYSRUS AND WALMART, SO I’M GOING TO E-MAIL THEM THAT SUGGESTION BECAUSE THE MOVIE THEATER IS DEFINITELY AN APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR THAT TYPE OF BATHROOM, NOT JUST FOR MY ISSUE EITHER, IT’S PRACTICAL AND SUITABLE
@Diva & Nakeya…It can’t be that deep, it can’t….. maybe if they just follow Sandra on twitter she would let em know when registration is open.
We are a select group of upper echelon posters, but dry snitching to get in? Ain’t nobody got time for that, says Sweet Brown. We usually know when it’s open season, so new folks that come up outta nowhere are suspect from the jump.
@ prynsexxx
I saw the Chicken & Waffle chips, and you know as black as I am, I done had the Salt & Vinegar ones, lol. I used to eat the flaming hot ones, but now, I think I have a spicy food allergy. Every time I eat something spicy, the top of my head itches like hell.

I follow her on twitter and was stalking the log on part to see when regrestration was. Why can’t they wait it out and do the work like the rest of us?! No, you just wanna be a dry snitch and then come in here trying to buss it up with the same damn people you were just telling on! What part of the game is that?! No wonder the new kids on the block get a hard way to go at first.
