蓄意谋杀

    周四南非法官判定残奥会冠军奥斯卡·皮斯托瑞斯故意枪杀女友瑞瓦·斯蒂坎普罪名不成立。请看本报周五的报道：

    A South African judge cleared Oscar Pistorius of premeditated murder Thursday, saying prosecutors had failed to prove the Olympic and Paralympic track star explicitly intended to kill his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day last year.

    Although she described the 27-year-old as a “very poor” and “evasive” witness, judge Thokozile Masipa said this did not mean the track star was necessarily guilty in a case that she said was based entirely on circumstantial evidence.

    Meditate是“思考”，premeditated是“事先策划的、预谋的”，报道中的premeditated murder就是“蓄意谋杀”。
