If he's found innocent the first thing he's gonna do is kick back and relax in a secluded beach in the Caribbean to clear his mind from all this
(pretty weak)
On a serious note though, if his team doesn't do an excellent job of standing up for him, the prosecution is going to run away with this trial.

Bail is usually not granted for any of the following reasons:
1) prevention of someone running away.
2) severity of the crime - people who committ murder usually do not get bail.
3) prevention of any interference with potential witnesses.
4) to prevent further crimes being committed.
With Oscar number 1 is not possible he's too well known to be able to flea. Number 4 is highly unlikely as well. Number 2 and 3 are reasons why I personally feel he should not have been granted bail. You can pretty much be assured if this was your average joe he would not have been granted bail. You very rarely get bail for murder.

Anyway I bet his lawyer is going to cost him an arm and a leg. That's if he can't get one of his sponsors to foot the bill. HE HAS NO LEGS!

Tbh I don't know much about South African law, I paralegal at the moment in London so I'm just using the knowledge I have from here. I'm sure it is different in SA.
I've been away out of the country do you know how much his bail was set at?
