The difference between someone screaming and someone crying are obviously quite different. You could scream AND cry, but you can also cry, without screaming, and vice versa. Oscar Pistorius’ closest neighbour explains..

According to news24:

Murder-accused Oscar Pistorius’s closest neighbour did not hear screaming the night Reeva Steenkamp was shot, the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria heard on Tuesday.

“Oscar is my neighbour. I’m the closest neighbour… as I said I heard a man crying,” Michael Nhlengethwa said during cross-examination by prosecutor Gerrie Nel.

“My Lady I heard the man that was crying, that is why I called security.”

Nel questioned Nhlengethwa on what he and his wife heard in Silver Woods Estate, Pretoria, in the early hours of 14 February last year.

“Did you hear any sounds that could have emanated from him [Pistorius] breaking down the door?” Nel asked.

Nhlengethwa said no. He did not hear gunshots. However, he said his wife heard a bang. Nel asked if he heard a woman scream, Nhlengethwa said no.
