I wonder if forensics will be able to tell from the condition of the bullets, if any of them had NOT been fired through the wooden door -- maybe the one from her hip is in better condition?
But still, someone's dead/dying, and you don't call paramedics, you call your dad?

Excellent point! We would also know this if there were 4 bullets fired, and only 3 bullet holes in the door. Once they locate all the slugs (I guess they already have) we will know how many bullets were fired in total. Then they just have to find all the locations where each bullet struck, and see how many of these bullets were shot through the door.
These bullet holes in the door will also show the angle the bullets were shot from, to tell if he was lying about not having his prosthetic legs on when he shot. These holes may also be able to determine how close he was to the door when he fired.
My guess is if he was arguing with his girlfriend through the closed door, he was likely standing right outside the door.
I also think the blood on the cricket paddle along with her head injury may show he was trying to hurt her that night.
I believe he claimed he was trying to use the cricket paddle to break down the door, and that is easy to prove false. Just see if there are any marks on the door which match a cricket paddle hitting it.

I know? If he called his dad first, he obviously was scared, and wanted advice on how to handle the situation. And my guess is his dad advised him to call paramedics.
If he had called paramedics first, then it might be believable that he was serious about helping her.
The precise timing of his phone calls, and the length of these calls, will be a huge piece of evidence.
Another thing I read is that he is a big gun fanatic, and owns multiple guns including a machine gun.
He also had a home security system which never triggered. That would also indicate he was lying about a burglar.
What if his dad said wait till she stops breathing to call paramedics?
I know if I was calling my father he would of yelled at me to get the H off the phone and call 911.
I could see being in a panic and just calling in a moment of panic by accident or madness but...
And now it appears the lead Detective is facing his own criminal charges and completely botched the case and ruined evidence. South African judicial system has a 10% conviction rate and is total chaos. This guy may very likely do an OJ and get away with murder.
It turns out also that the " neighbor" who heard yelling lived a quarter of a mile away. Since the Pistorius home is townhouse type condo how could he have known in the middle of the night that it was that unit he heard noise from, if it even woke him up from that far away.
I thought they had said there was fighting always coming out of that house?
Its only 1300 feet about. I lived on a street that had a house with domestic issues. In the middle of the night it was easy to tell and they were about 800 feet away. Everyone on the street knew that was the "fighting house". I personally could not I.D. the male voice because all angry guys sort of sound the same but I could tell it was the female of the house easily.
While I don't think he's a flight risk because of the staggering media attention surrounding this case, I would not be surprised one bit if he committed suicide. Seems likely no matter which side of the story you believe. Hard to live with yourself and all you've lost either way.
