Pretoria, South Africa - The trial of Oscar Pistorius on murder charges began on Monday. The double amputee track star who was in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, held in London. The trial began with one of Mr.Pistorius' neighbors saying that she heard "bloodcurdling screams" from Oscar's home before she was found shot and killed. On a boring, gray, raining day in Pretoria - Oscar stood in front of the Jury, claiming e had not murdered his girlfriend Reeva Steencamp. He said in a soft, clear, calm voice that he was not guilty. He denied the murder, but also denied several other firearms offenses. A lawyer reading a statement from Mr.Pistorius, saying that the allegations "could not be farther from the truth" He also accused the police of contaminating the murder scene. He also denied that he and his girlfriend ad never argued on the night of the murder. The first witness, Michele Berger, had sad that on the night of the murder (February 14th 2013) she had heard screaming and arguing from their house.
From reading the article, I feel that Oscar Pistorius is guilty. He denied other firearms charges that in fact were true. I think that on the night of the murder, he and his girlfriend got into a very heated argument and for some awful reason, he felt that he had to kill her. You can't just go around killing people whenever you get into an argument. Mr. Pistorius should be put away for life without parole. Murder is a serous offense and he can not get away with it.
