Oscar Pistorius trial

I have seen the trial of the Oscar Pistorius carried out  alive in the western media; such as CNN, and BBC, but none in the Arabic channels. I wonder why?, Still the Arab, and Muslim courts based on 13c. Christian laws.

Oscar Pistorius: Reeva died while I was holding her


Olympic and Paralympic track star Oscar Pistorius arrives ahead of his trial at the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria 9 April 2014 Oscar Pistorius sobbed whilst recounting the moments of the shooting


South African athlete Oscar Pistorius is back in court in Pretoria describing events after shooting his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home.

During his emotional testimony he said Ms Steenkamp died before the ambulance arrived while he was holding her.

He said he tried to help her breathe and stem the bleeding from her hip.

The athlete denies deliberately shooting dead Ms Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year, arguing he mistook her for an intruder.

Oscar Pistorius told prosecutor Gerrie Nel that he "made a terrible mistake"

Prosecutors contend he intentionally killed her in the toilet of his bathroom after a row.

The 27-year-old Olympic and Paralympic sprinter, who is a double amputee, faces life imprisonment if convicted of murder.

On Tuesday, he broke down in tears whilst describing the events leading up to the shooting and the actual event.
