It's a good thing they got a leg up on him now. They're going to kneed it.

I hope they string him up by his feet. Or at the very least shackle his ankles.

How can you say those things? You have no sole.

Police also reportedly requested Pistorius' blood be tested for potential steroid or other drug use, in anticipation of a potential "roid rage" defense.

Your client breaks down a door with a cricket bat, beats the shit of of his girlfriend and shoots her three times, in some order, and you are gonna reach for any possible defense you can find.

Yeah, and he's got to be very careful what he says about this, doesn't want to wind up with his foot in his mouth.

Apparently her iPad was in the bathroom, I wonder if she turned it to try to record the attack.

In today’s fast-paced world, it seems like just about any guy can accidentally kill his girlfriend at virtually any time. Here are some easy strategies to avoid inadvertently murdering your significant other:

Be sure to avoid firing a gun in the general direction of your girlfriend, regardless of the situation.

Shy away from doing anything that may cause your girlfriend a massive amount of blood loss, such as beating her, stabbing her, or shooting her multiple times.

Consider performing a task that has a low risk of accidentally murdering your girlfriend, like giving her flowers, taking her to dinner, or letting her continue living and breathing.

Remain generally cognizant of the fact that three gunshots to the head and torso will, in most situations, fatally wound a person, and that this fact will, therefore, likely apply to your girlfriend as well.

If there is a locked door in your home and there is even a remote possibility that the person you’re currently dating is behind that door and could be immediately killed by the bullets you fire at the door, try not to fire a gun directly at that door.

In general, if there is something that you think might cause your girlfriend to stop living, don’t do that thing.

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA—Facing allegations that he killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp during a dispute at his Pretoria mansion last week, track star Oscar Pistorius swore before a judge Monday that a bloodied cricket bat found on his property was in fact used in a completely different murder. “Honest to God, I never used that bat on Reeva—you have to believe me,” the double amputee said of the blood-soaked wooden paddle, claiming he had only ever used it in the 2011 slaying of a Johannesburg prostitute and “a handful” of cricket matches. “Seriously, I haven’t even seen that thing since I killed a hooker with it. To be honest, I forgot I still had it lying around.” According to sources, Pistorius went on to claim that Steenkamp’s skull was already caved in before he shot her four times.
