Oscar Pistorius Is Cleared Of Murdering Girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA - SEPTEMBER 12: Reeva Steenkamp's mother June Steenkamp (L) arrives at North Gauteng High Court on September 12, 2014 in Pretoria, South Africa. South African Judge Thokosile Masipa has ruled out murder charges, but has left it to today to announce whether Oscar Pistorius is guilty of culpable homicide, as the six month trial of the Olympic double-amputee sprinter comes to an end. His defence maintained that Mr Pistorius mistook Ms Reeva Steenkamp for an intruder in his home when he fired several shots into his bathroom allegedly in self-defence but killing his girlfriend.
