Imagine being questioned about killing you loved one for months and being asked if you did it purposely or if it was a mistake. Only you truly know if you meant to or if it was a mistake. But you are still had to take the blame. This is very similar to the Oscar Pistorious trial, they both are about killing a loved one and being questioned but it’s not just a loved one it was his girlfriend. The famous track star Oscar Pistorious was accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenckamp. Oscar heard a noise in the middle of the night and noticed that the bathroom window was open so he grabbed his pistol from under his bed and went to the door. It happened to be locked. Oscar thought it was an intruder, so he took 4 shots through the door. He ended up killing his girlfriend who was in the bathroom. The jury found him guilty for the murder of Reeva and he was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

He says that he went to the bathroom and sees that the bathroom window is open and sees that the toilet room door is closed (Loo). This shows that the jury made the right decision because Oscar had the chance to see who was really in the bathroom but he didn’t he just went on his own to the bathroom door and fired four shots at the bathroom door killing Reeva. Also many intruders wouldn’t just lock themselves in a room with one escape route because if Oscar called the police like he should have than the Intruder would have no escape
