Oscar Pistorius Sickened By Gruesome Pictures Shown During Murder Trial

Oscar Pistorius covers his head as he listens to forensic evidence during his trial in Pretoria, South Africa, on Thursday, March 13. Pistorius, the first amputee to compete in the Olympics, is accused of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on February 14, 2013.
Greene, Richard Allen, Richard Allen Greene Reported, Wrote From Pretoria, and Ben Brumfield Wrote from Atlanta. Marie-Louise Gumuchian in London. "Gruesome Shooting Scene Photos Sicken Oscar Pistorius at Murder Trial." CNN. Cable News Network, 01 Jan. 1970. Web. 13 Mar. 2014.
Oscar Pistorius was in court again on Thursday for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp which took place on February 14 of 2013. Pistorius the handicapped Olympian had his trial interrupted twice by the accidental showing of pictures of Reeva Steenkamp’s dead body and fatal wounds prompting Pistorius to be violently ill. Pistorius disgusted with the showing of the pictures threw up after both defense and prosecution lawyers examined the photos to show which ones they wanted to discuss. Pistorius who admitted to killing Steenkamp says that it was a terrible accident and not a premeditated murder. As photos flashed by of bloody scenes Pistorius’ face sank into his hands to keep away from looking. The case is still going on because there has still not been clarity to whether Pistorius had intentionally killed his girlfriend or not. The trial will take about three weeks to arrive to a final verdict. There are many different opinions to whether he actually killed Steenkamp or not, I believe that Pistorius did not intentionally kill her mistakenly taking her for an intruder because he would be throwing away his life and not be able to complete his dreams of being the first handicapped man to medal in the Olympics.
