Well, I Would Hope So

From ESPN: Oscar Pistorius' track career was put on hold indefinitely Sunday because of his murder charge, reinforcing the possibility that the double-amputee Olympian and disabled sports icon might never run again competitively on his famous carbon fiber blades.
Pistorius' agent was forced to cancel all future races, he said, so Pistorius could concentrate on defending himself against allegations he murdered his model girlfriend by shooting her several times in his upscale house on Valentine's Day morning.
Reeva Steenkamp died from gunshot wounds suffered inside Pistorius' home in the predawn hours of Thursday. Pistorius was arrested and charged with her murder the same day. His family denies he murdered her.
"I have decided that following these tragic events that we have no option but to cancel all future races that Oscar Pistorius had been contracted to compete in," agent Peet van Zyl said in a written statement late Sunday night.
A few hours earlier, van Zyl had visited his athlete at a police station in the South African capital, Pretoria, where he is being held in custody in a red-bricked, one-story building with green metal fencing.
Pistorius has been there since Friday following the shocking developments at his villa in a gated community in Pretoria's eastern suburbs where Steenkamp was shot dead. http://espn.go.com/olympics/trackandfield/story/_/id/8956898/agent-cancels-oscar-pistorius-races-indefinitely-focus-defending-murder-charge
Well, it's hard to race when your ass is in jail and even if you make bail, you will be restricted where you can go, even if you make bail.
If he is guilty of murder, it looks like he will be called "Stumpy" in prison because I doubt he will be allowed his running blades in prison as they can be transformed into a weapon.
This thug more than likely guilty of murder.  Firing 4 shots in the victim kind of takes away the self defense or temporary insanity.
But what is very disturbing is this: Pistorius' sponsors -- including big-name brands Nike and eyewear manufacturer Oakley -- were also sticking by him, van Zyl said. But that could depend on the outcome of a possibly lengthy murder trial.
"Regarding sponsors and partners, I can confirm that at this point in time, all parties are supportive and their contractual commitments are maintained," van Zyl's In Site Athlete Management company said. "They have said they are happy to let the legal process takes its course before making any change in their position."
If there is a reason to boycott Nike, this is it.  Why would Nike stand by a thug who killed his live in girlfriend?  No reason I can think of.
