Dolus eventualis: quo vadis?
As we draw closer to the sentencing hearing in the Pistorius matter, which has been scheduled to start on 13 June 2016, it is appropriate to reflect – in terms of finally concluding on the matter – on some of the key legal issues related to the case. Whereas most members of the public have probably at this stage ‘had more than enough’ of the case, there are some of those issues that remain unresolved, and it is important to resolve them.
