Indeed. The judge appears to have contradicted herself a bit.
"How could the accused have reasonably foreseen the shot he fired would have killed the deceased? Clearly he did not subjectively foresee this, that he would have killed the person behind the door, let alone the deceased"
"However, in this case, Mr Pistorius had enough time to assess the situation and call for help, the judge argues. She says she is not convinced a reasonable person with the accused's disability would have fired four shots into the cubicle."
Why would a reasonable person not have fired the shots? After all the same reasonable person could not be expected to forsee that they would kill a person?
Doesn't compute.
