Oscar Pistorius’ trial is anything but over, but a new controversy has been raised on social media regarding a local song about Reeva Steenkamp.
Surgeon said it was unlikely that Pistorius struck the toilet door with a cricket while on his stumps. He said the athlete would not have enough balance.
General anxiety disorder sufferers, or rather their family and friends, are going into freak out-mode following Oscar’s premature evaluation from a psychiatrist.
Get some inside information into how Oscar’s psych evaluation will affect the trial.
South Africa’s favourite reality TV show, the ‘Oscar Pistorius Murder Trial,’ has been adjourned by Judge Masipa. An application was brought before the court by defence Advocate Barry Roux, in agreement with state prosecutor, Gerrie Nel that the trial be postponed for a number of weeks.
Oscar Pistorius read in court the Valentine’s Day card that Reeva Steenkamp gave to him before he shot her to death, containing the message “I think today is a good day to tell you that I love you.”
Sigmund Freud would have a field day analysing the Oscar Pistorius trial, especially comparing Oscar’s attractions to Reeva Steenkamp to his mother. Photos shown of Reeva with her natural hair colour during the trail, bear a striking resemblance to Oscar’s mother.
Before the trail started, Reeva’s family spoke words of forgiveness when pressed about their stance on Oscar Pistorius. While June Steenkamp stoically attends the trial, the rest of the family back in Port Elizabeth are far less composed. Over the weekend, Reeva’s sister told the media in an interview that she thinks Oscar is lying on the stand.
June Steenkamp has stoically endured every account of the day her daughter died. She has seen images of her daughter’s lifeless body that she will take to her grave. And through all the heartache, she can’t take her eyes off Oscar Pistorius, the man that took her daughter’s life.
And he’s bawling his eyes out. “I can’t imagine the pain, the sorrow and the emptiness I’ve caused you,” and “I have terrible nightmares. I wake up in a complete state of terror.”
Police ballistics expert Capt. Christiaan Mangena gave an explosive testimony, illustrating the last moments of Reeva Steenkamp’s life. Over the past couple of day’s Oscar Pistorius’s defense have repeatedly attacked the evidence, claiming that the police contaminated the scene. However, this was not the case when Mangena testified.
When men try to imitate the voice of a woman, they typically raise their voices to a higher pitch, and in the end, sound like men imitating women. Actually training a man to “sound” like a woman is enormously difficult and doesn’t have much to do with pitch, says Monique Rissen- Harrisberg CEO of one of South Africa’s leading communication’s training companies, The Voice Clinic.
Much has been made of the defence’s argument in the Oscar Pistorius trial that witnesses Michelle Burger and Charl Johnson did not in fact hear gun shots on the morning of 14 February 2013, but the sound of Oscar Pistorius beating down the bathroom door with a cricket bat in an attempt to reach Reeva Steenkamp, and save her life.
The BBC has apologised for playing audio clips of howling dogs, a shrieking woman and yelling men during a radio report on Oscar Pistorius’s trial proceedings. The radio host claimed the sound clips to be due to “technical problems” – sure. It’s not the first time BBC offered an apology after reporting about Pistorius’s case. […]
