Olympian Pistorius charged with murder

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Paralympic superstar Oscar Pistorius was charged Thursday with the murder of his girlfriend who was shot inside his home in South Africa, a stunning development in the life of a national hero known as the Blade Runner for his high-tech artificial legs.

Reeva Steenkamp, a model who spoke out on Twitter against rape and abuse of women, was shot four times in the predawn hours in the house, in a gated community in the capital, Pretoria, police said.

Hours later after undergoing police questioning, Pistorius left a police station accompanied by officers. He looked down as photographers snapped pictures, the hood on his gray workout jacket pulled up, covering most of his face.

Last I heard, that has been dropped. Neighbors report hearing yelling and arguing.

I am ashamed to say my first thougt was, "He'll be screwed in court; he doesn't have a leg to stand on."

A kneejerk reaction, was it?

Thank you for helping me feel better about my sick sense of humor. That is a hold-over from my days as a hospital orderly.

If I just shot my girlfriend and was trying to get out of it the first thing I would tell the authorities is that I thought she was an intruder..

So will they call him the ALEGGED killer now? Or is that mean?

According to neighbours there were three shots and screaming, followed by silence. Ten minutes later there were three more shots. Wonder what he was thinking?
