Jen Sue thank you so much for chatting to us the verdict is in not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter what's
00:00:08
your immediate reaction well it was pretty much what I predicted all along I had said quite some time ago it would
00:00:14
probably be culpable homicide and uh well that was what it was I think you know in the end it has caused a lot of
00:00:24
polarized reactions legal experts and Technical experts are saying this is crazy the judge made a mistake I think
00:00:32
in the end remember there were only two people there one is dead one is alive and we're going on his version and the
00:00:39
judge bought that version she did how did you feel emotionally though askcar as your friend well from that point of
00:00:46
view I was relieved for Oscar I think this was definitely a best case scenario for Oscar for Oscar's family and for his
00:00:57
legal team and you knew both Oscar and Ras you saw them shortly before her death I did about 5 days before the
00:01:04
shooting we had dinner together and we were able to spend some really good quality time together I saw them in a
00:01:14
very happy light and they were very much in love and it was a moment that I will
00:01:21
never forget that moment with Oscar and Reva after the shooting he was so incredibly remorseful and and I do
00:01:30
believe that he definitely was truly devastated and just in a State of Shock and remorse I'm sure there's not a
00:01:41
minute of every day that passes where he doesn't think about her in terms of um being a friend to both Oscar and Rea
00:01:49
it's must be quite hard being caught in the middle definitely um and I struggle myself sometimes I ask questions about
00:01:59
what actually happened happen and does this make sense and I think for all of riva's friends this is really a big
00:02:07
tragedy but I do believe in my heart from knowing Oscar for all these years that he did not shoot with intent to
00:02:16
kill Reva
