PRETORIA, South Africa -- Oscar Pistorius has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend after model Reeva Steenkamp was shot inside the Olympic athlete's home in South Africa.

Police said a 26-year-old male would appear in court later on Thursday. Police in South Africa do not name suspects in crimes until they have appeared in court but police spokesperson Brigadier Denise Beukes said that Pistorius was at his home after the death of Steenkamp and "there is no other suspect involved."

Beukes said the suspect was undergoing blood alcohol and forensic tests and had made a request to be brought to court immediately. Beukes said he would apply for bail, but the South African Police Service would oppose the application.

Beukes said there had been "previous incidents" at Pistorius' home.

[Dayze]

Of this charge holds up, he won't have a leg to stand on.

[big nasty kcnut]

Getting a lawyer will cost him a leg or two.

[KCUnited]

I'm stumped as to how something like this could happen.

[ChiefMojo]

This news has to be a low blow to Oscar's career.

[Dayze]

Hope he bounces back from this

[KCUnited]

His Olympic career will likely be cut off at the knees.

[CrazyPhuD]

Kill her with a gun??? Bah one would have expected him to use a blade!

[ImAWalkingCorpse]

I guess he is knee deep in shit now huh?

[DC.chief]

Well done gentlemen. Well done.

[Dave Lane]

He's not going to be so footloose anymore

[Iowanian]

If his lawyer costs and Arm and A leg....he's pretty much fornicated.

I keep reading the OP as "Osteoperosis Charged with Murder"

[Buehler445]

News said his girlfriend wanted to throw a valentines day party for him and broke into his house. He thought she was a burgler and smoked her.

That's rough.

[Dayze]

ever hear of those stories where a guy goes ape shit on his wife for losing his shoes, or favorite hat?

imagine if you wife misplaced your legs. you wouldn't even be able to kick her ass for it.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

One time I cried because I had no shoes, but then I met a woman who was murdered by a man who had no feet.

[Saul Good]

This man is a double amputee.



(Sorry, I'm not very good at this.)

[Dayze]

unfair advantage by the guy; he was probably bouncing around like Scorpion in Mortal Combat.

[ReynardMuldrake]

I don't think the murder should count. The gun gave him an unfair advantage.

[ReynardMuldrake]

Heh. Latest story has him claiming it was a case of mistaken identity. Accidently shot her thinking she was an intruder. Apparently there's been a rash of smoking-hot blonde supermodels burglarizing South African homes lately. LMAO

I don't think this is what he needed to do to get a leg up on the competition.

he seems too high strung. It might serve him well to just kick back and put his stumps up, and have a cold be.

He probably kicked this shit out of everyone on that contest (figuratively speaking, of course)

No matter how hot she is, some Olympic sprinter with metal hoobajoobs for legs somewhere is going to mistake her for a burglar and shoot her to death.

It's as true today as it was 100 years ago.

[Saul Good]

If one of them broke in, I think I would choose to subdue her rather than shooting.

I might not shoot her full of holes, but I'd happily shoot her holes full.

Strangest part of this story: There's an Olympic sprinter from Africa...and he's a white guy.

Reports: “Boxes And Boxes” Of Steroids Found In Oscar Pistorius’s Home
Barry Petchesky
This might seem ancillary, in the wake of Oscar Pistorius's transformation from "inspirational athlete" to "accused murderer," but the news that banned drugs were found in Pistorius's home may end up playing a major role in his trial—a line of argument by the prosecution or the defense.

The Sun, citing police sources, reported that steroids were found during a search of the house when officers arrived to find Reeva Steenkamp dead from gunshot wounds. The Daily Mirror adds that there were "boxes and boxes" of unopened steroids found in a drawer, in "every form possible" including pills and syringes. The Mirror claims Pistorius told police they weren't his, and he was just holding the PEDs for a friend.

South Africa's City Press reports that police specifically requested Pistorius's blood be tested for drugs—in anticipation, they claim, of a possible "roid rage" argument. At today's bail hearing, prosecutors raised the possibility that Pistorius flew into a rage upon learning Steenkamp received a message from former boyfriend, national rugby player Francois Hougaard.

But, and this is pure speculation, a "roid rage" defense could also serve Pistorius. He's been charged with "premeditated murder," for which the prosecution will have to prove he knowingly and rationally planned to shoot Steenkamp, even if that "planning" happened in a matter of seconds. Pistorius could argue that jealousy, combined with the effects of anabolic steroids, made him not in his right mind when he pulled the trigger. That could be argued as a "crime of passion," or "temporary insanity," and unlike premeditated murder, wouldn't carry a mandatory life sentence.

[loochy]

Elite athletes use steroids? NO WAI

[Setsuna]

I heard her skull was crushed including the gunshot wounds. Whatever defense he had it's on its last leg now. The crushed skull pretty much took his legs from under him.

[the Talking Can]

Pretoria, South Africa (CNN) -- It was the middle of the night, Oscar Pistorius says, and he thought an intruder was in the house. Not wearing his prosthetic legs, feeling vulnerable in the pitch dark and too scared to turn on the lights, the track star pulled his 9mm pistol from beneath his bed, moved toward the bathroom and fired into the door.

It was only after he called to girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp -- whom he thought had been in bed beside him after a quiet evening -- that he realized something horrible might have happened, he told Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair in a statement read by his lawyer during his bond hearing Tuesday. Prosecutors dispute the version of events that Pistorius detailed in his statement.

Pistorius says he broke down the locked bathroom door -- at one point in the statement saying he kicked the door in, at another saying he used a cricket bat to break it down -- then scooped up the mortally wounded Steenkamp and carried her downstairs after for help.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/19/world/africa/south-africa-pistorius-case/index.html

totally plausible










ROFL

[KChiefer]

Quite simply, who locks the bathroom door when it's only you and your lover at home? Maybe you do it out of habit, but it's total BS IMO.

[bowener]

They should give Steenkamp's mother/father a loaded gun and some time alone with Oscar. Then the shoe will be on the other...err... foot?

They claim that it could not have been him because there were two feet between Oscar and the bathroom door.
