The Oscar Pistorius criminal case, regarding the shooting death of
the double amputee Olympian and Paralympian's girlfriend, model and law
graduate, Reeva Steenkamp, has taken some very serious and sad turns,
as leaks in the press reveal explosive claims. Last week, on February
16, 2013, in the article "
Oscar
Pistorius Cries In Court As Charges For Killing His Girlfriend Changed
To Premeditated Murder (Video)" the Judiciary Report stated, "The police have labeled it
'premeditated murder' due to something they have in their
evidence files leading them to believe it is so."

It appears the smoking gun in their evidence files has arrived, as
the following day it was stated in the press, a cricket bat with blood
on it was found at the crime scene, the track star's mansion in
Pretoria, South Africa and the victim, Steenkamp, was found with a
crushed skull and four gunshot wounds (to the head, hip, hand and
chest). It is going to be very difficult to explain a crushed skull in
a court of law.

In a previous interview, prior to the shooting, Pistorius stated he
keeps a cricket bat behind his bedroom door, an AK-47 machine gun by
the window and a pistol by his bed, in crime plagued South Africa,
where the rich have experienced a higher than usual amount of home
invasion robberies.
What also complicates this tragic case is an allegation in the press
today that late night texts and tweets between Skeenkamp and
ex-boyfriend, South Africa rugby player, Francios Hougaard, enraged Pistorius. Some are attempting to label her death a
crime of passion on Valentine's Day. Steenkamp's iPad is being held as
evidence regarding the claim.
To any man, especially a disabled man, often discriminated against
by society, due to closed minded people, who would make a person with
said medical condition feel like less of a man, being cheated on is
devastating. However, one must always control one's response to such
situations, keeping things in perspective and knowing you are just as
good as anyone else.

The trouble does not end there for Pistorius, as it is also being
reported the sprinter's home contained steroids and police ordered be
tested for its use. If this is in fact the case and these allegations
of cheating prove true, Pistorius could be stripped of the medals he
has won in competition.
Another report exists that excessive amounts of alcohol were found
in Pistorius' home - a property police repeatedly were called to during
"domestic violence" incidents. Three people have come forward
in two separate allegations, stating Pistorius was drunk and threatened
them. In a case involving two women at a Kings of Leon concert, they
stated he was drunk, verbally abusive, called them lesbians and pushed
them.

In another incident, a friend of Pistorius' ex-girlfriend stated the
athlete threatened to break his legs, believing something was going on
between the two of them. He stated he was called to a meeting with
police "colonels" where Pistorius showed up with a black eye,
from getting into a fight with a friend the night
before.

If all of the aforementioned points are entered into court record,
Pistorius will be in serious legal trouble and could lose his freedom.
The picture it paints is one of an angry athlete, using steroids,
getting drunk, having violent confrontations with female members of the
public and harboring suspicions of girlfriends cheating on him. The
irony is, prior to Steenkamp's death, Pistorius was repeatedly referred
to in the press as a womanizer.
