Oscar Pistorius, das Model, der Valentinstag und das war dann Notwehr

Mr Nel said: "If I arm myself, walk a distance and murder a person, that is premeditated. The door is closed. There is no doubt. I walk seven metres and I kill. The motive is 'I want to kill'. That's it."

Botha says when Pistorius answered the phone to security guards, he said: "I'm all right," and started crying.

But cross-examining him, defence lawyer Barry Roux claimed that the witness who said she heard an argument lives in a house 600m from Pistorius’s. Botha initially agreed, but later changed his testimony to say that the house was 300m away. Roux also said that this witness had said she heard two sets of three shots 17 minutes apart – yet only four cartridges were found. Botha admitted the witness had been wrong about this. And Roux said the witness could not say if the voices she heard belonged to Pistorius and Steenkamp. Botha admitted that was correct. In fact, the screaming she had heard came from Pistorius, he said. Roux also maintained that it was pitch dark in Pistorius’s bedroom when the curtains and blinds were drawn.

Botha admits he couldn't find anything at the crime scene inconsistent with Pistorius's accidental shooting version of events.
