Pistorius, 27, a former Olympian and double amputee called "Blade Runner" for his carbon-fiber prosthetic legs, goes on trial in North Gauteng High Court. He is charged with shooting his girlfriend four times through a toilet door with a 9mm gun, killing her on Valentine's Day 2013. He told police he believed she was an intruder.

"I knew I had to protect Reeva and myself,'' Pistorius said in an 11-page affidavit, his only testimony so far.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel called Pistorius a man "willing and ready to fire and kill" as the state charged him with premeditated murder. Prosecutors say there was "a measure of preparation" in the way he killed Steenkamp after the couple argued loudly at his home.

A cable TV channel has begun broadcasting 24-hour coverage of the trial.

They're going to cut his legs out from under him.

I hate to pronounce guilt before a verdict has been reached, but the ballistics trajectory studies really don't look good for him. At the very least, it appears that he's lying about having his prosthetics off at the time he discharged the gun.

I don't think I could really say because I haven't heard the evidence. Some would say that he doesn't have a leg to stand on, though.

Are you asking us to predict the verdict or whether he did it or not?

Dude is as guilty as Hitler, but I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to get him off. This whole thing has been a circus of unimaginable proportions.

I guess wether or not he shot her isn't in question.

I know absolutely nothing of this case.

What was the motive?

25 years sounds kinda steep for killing an African, doesn't it?

No motive. He was an abusive juice head with jealousy issues and a gun fetish.
