Yup, that’s the vibe the Sunday Times are going for this morning, and it looks like the state has evidence too – by way of the surfing history on one of Pistorius’ phones. How this will look in the eyes of a judge presiding over a murder case, is anyone’s guess.
According to the Sunday Times:
In the hours before he shot and killed his model girlfriend, Oscar Pistorius was surfing his cellphone looking at porn sites.
This is among the sensational evidence the state will present when the world-famous “Blade Runner” goes on trial for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp in just more than a week’s time. It has already been billed as the criminal trial of the decade as the double amputee, who against the odds earned the right to compete against able-bodied athletes and became an international sporting icon, steps into the dock.
The revelation about Pistorius’s porn activities, discovered through data retrieved by the police from one of his cellphones found on the crime scene, is at odds with his description of his relationship with Steenkamp, a blonde stunner who appeared on several magazine covers and had a bright future ahead of her.
The timing of his internet “activities” — which also included surfing used-car sites — corresponds with the time he and Steenkamp were at home together on the eve of Valentine’s Day.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said in court papers in a reply to the defence this week that “the accused’s website activities from the time that he got home is in direct contrast to that of a loving couple spending time together”.
A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation said: “The history recovered from this phone shows he visited those sites during the time they were at home together. Why was he checking out such sites while she was there?”
On Tuesday we will hear if the court case will be televised – this, following an application by local news networks for cameras to be allowed in the courtroom.
The trial starts on Monday, March 3.
