It is South Africa canary. The burglars there dont wear stripy jumpers and carry a bag marked swag, they carry arms and aer only too happy to use them on you just for your car keys.
I believe Mr Pistorious is mounting the only defence he can - however incredulous it is going to sound in court - because the alternative is simply to plead guilty.
This is going to be an interesting case. Pistorious can't deny shooting his wife...indeed he has admitted that he did kill her. But instead he says that he thought it might be a burglar, taking a shower in his bathroom. Remarkably fastidious burglar !
i remember reading that the distance of his home to others would preclude anyone hearing noise, yet the woman witness says she heard screams -
i wonder how long the case will take, it isn't cut and dried.
I thought the woman witness today was very good. She wouldn't be swayed by his defence lawyer and stuck to her guns despite him labouring point after point.
