EWN reports that details of the state’s case against murder accused, Oscar Pistorius have been leaked. The state has set out 13 facts on which it will base the bulk of its argument. They will argue that Pistorius told security guards moments after shooting Reeva Steenkamp that everything was fine at his Pretoria East home. Check out the rest of their case, below.

This, from EWN:

THE STATE’S 13 FACTS:

1. The state relies on the evidence of a witness who stated to have heard “talking like fighting” and a woman’s voice constantly talking. The witness formed the impression that the woman was arguing. This stopped after the shots were fired.

2. Two witnesses heard a woman scream before shots were fired.

3. Another two witnesses heard shots followed by the screams of a woman and then further shots. The screams were extinguished at the same time of the last shots.

4. Pistorius’s website activities from the time that he got home is in direct contrast to that of a loving couple spending time together.

5. The amount, trajectory and grouping of the shots fired through a locked door can only be inferred to indicate a direct intention to kill the person behind the closed door.

6. The position and condition of the gun in the bathroom.

7. On his own version, Pistorius armed himself, walked to the bathroom and shot through the closed door without ascertaining who was behind the door or whether or not he was even faced with any danger.

8. Steenkamp was clothed when she was shot.

9. Steenkamp was standing upright facing the door when she was shot.

10. Steenkamp had something to eat hours before she was killed.

11. The presence of the cellphones in the bathroom militates against a version that Steenkamp innocently went to the toilet at the time.

12. The fact and the way in which Pistorius broke down the toilet door.

13. Pistorius’s version “is not reasonably possibly true and it is our case that if rejected by the court the objective facts will prove the murder with direct intent of the deceased”.
