OT: Another athlete murders someone

[Comeds]

Was there a voice-over they could refer to?

I'm hearing a lot of different twists and turns to this story. One story seems to be that she came into the house to surprise him and he shot her thinking it was an intruder. Another account describes him as abusive and a murderer.

Either way, this story has really gotten legs.

Sad we could learn something from South Africa...

Homicides involving guns have declined in South Africa in the past decade, Ms. Kirsten said, a development many here attribute to the Firearms Control Act of 2004. It restricts South Africans to one gun, either a handgun or a shotgun, for self-defense. Exceptions exist for regular hunters, but all weapons must be licensed, and gun owners are required to demonstrate that they are trained in gun safety and are free from mental instability and substance abuse.

The overall murder rate has dropped by 50 percent since its peak in the late 1990s, and the number of women killed by intimate partners using a gun has also dropped. In 2009, 17 percent of such intimate partner killings were gun-related, down from nearly 31 percent in 1999.

One cartridge was found in the bedroom and the police suspect Oscar may have “chased” her and fired the first shot before Steenkamp could lock herself inside the toilet.

“The suspicion is that the first shot, in the bedroom, hit her in the hip. She then ran and locked herself in the toilet. She was doubled over because of the pain. He fired three more shots. She probably covered her head, which is why the bullet also went through her hand,” said a source.

Steenkamp was shot in the head, hip, arm and hand.

Of course he used PED's! The guy was in the olympics for sprinting, and he has no legs!!! This guy is crashing and burning.

He'll get bail.... Even the investigator on the case says he see's no reason why Pistorius shouldn't make bail. No jury in this hearing, just the judge.
