this is a shocker! I think that guy is great , I cannot believe he would deliberately kill this woman , he only knew her a few months! accidents like this do happen in places like South Africa where you have to defend yourself and make sure you're not one of the 18,0000 murders that occur in that country every year. tragic for all concerned.

It doesn't say previous domestic incidents between them. There was one occasion BEFORE they started to see each other when he had a party at his house and asked a woman to leave who was being drunk and disorderly, as he was closing the door on her she hurt her leg and tried to sue him for assault. So far there are no reports of them having a domestic. Besides which why would he want to shoot her? he'd not known her that long, if he wasn't happy with her he could easily have ended and moved on to someone else. It doesn't make sense that he would plan to murder her ! that's crazy.

I never thought of Pistorius as being a particularly nice person - I'm not sure why or how I got this impression, but I gather some other paralympians were wary of him, probably because of the controversy around him competing in the Olympics. That doesn't of course mean he is a killer!

Well, sometimes it seems that suspects are tried by message board, and I didn't want anyone to read my remarks as prejudging the trial.
I'm amazed that so much detail is coming out at the bail hearing. I gather there will be no jury, but even so, I can't see why it is necessary at this stage.

Pistorius is claiming he thought he was shooting at an intruder. Neighbors claimed they heard a loud argument and the prosecution believes that Miss Steenkamp locked herself in the bathroom to protect herself.

OK, I now understand why so much information is being aired; it is all to do with categories of murder, and if this is preented as the most serious there will be less chance of bail.

Well....if you live with someone......I don't understand the whole "shoot first...ask questions later" move.......if I heard someone in the bathroom......I would first think my hubby was in there and not an intruder........
Also.....if you are shooting in the dark and in a panic......how do you manage to hit them every time?

Two points: If she's in my bedroom sleeping with me, I'm not shooting her Here is a floor plan for the bedroom and bathroom. He shot through a closed locked door and hit her in the head, the arm, and the hip. It's a large bathroom. He had to know where she was in the room to hit her. Also, her side of the bed is closest to the bathroom. He had to walk around the bed to get to the bathroom door. One report I read said she was on the toilet when hit. what do you mean he had to know where she was in the room to hit her? he shot through the door , right? he cannot therefore have seen where she was in the bathroom can he? it was pure chance he hit her because he was shooting "blind" this was South Africa , intruders entering homes is common and people defending their homes is also common.

The report I read said she couldn't have been on the toilet when hit but was probably cowering in a corner!
The media coverage of this has really got out of hand.

The media coverage of this has really got out of hand. that's wrong right there, how would any one know she was cowering in the corner unless they had witnessed it!!! or how would they know she was on the toilet!!! when the police arrived Oscar was with her.

A South African court granted bail on Friday to Oscar Pistorius, charged with the murder of his girlfriend, after his lawyers argued the "Blade Runner" was too famous to pose a flight risk.
