CNN: Woman found shot to death in home of South African 'blade runner'

Now I hear that Neighbors heard an argument before the shooting.

Dude's done.

The neighbors said they heard yelling before the gun shots. He apparently has a history of domestic issues with her from the past. Something isn't adding up.

Pistorious appeared in court today: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...harge/1929681/

I find myself wondering whether Pistorius's story is even a viable defense to murder ... So what if it actually was a burglar? He has basically admitted that he intended to kill someone but he just made a mistake about who it was behind that door. Even under the most generous castle doctrine laws, this would be a borderline case since he fired through a door without even seeing his target. I don't know what the self-defense laws are like in South Africa, but in America he would only have a chance of winning with this defense in Florida and maybe Texas.

I am with you... this explaination does not make sense...

He heard a noise in bathroom, and "felt a sense of terror rushing over me," the affidavit said.

Pistorius, who is a double amputee, said he was not wearing his prosthetics, but he has mobility on his stumps.

"I believed that someone had entered my house," the affidavit said. "I was too scared to switch a light on. I grabbed my 9mm pistol from underneath my bed."

He said he screamed to Steenkamp to call the police, thinking she was still in bed. He noticed the bathroom window was open, and he thought an intruder was hiding in the separate enclosed toilet, according to the affidavit.

"As I did not have my prosthetic legs on and felt extremely vulnerable, I knew I had to protect Reeva and myself," the affidavit said. "I believed that when the intruder/s came out of the toilet we would be in grave danger."

Pistorius said he fired shots and shouted again at Steenkamp. When he realized she wasn't in bed, "it dawned on me that it could have been Reeva who was in the toilet," the affidavit said.

So the dude is screaming for his GF with his gun pointing at the door and his GF makes no attempt to communicate back to Pistorius that she is there?

yeah great

I think this is adding up pretty clearly.
