Pistorius Trial Paused Due to Sobs
Once again, Oscar Pistorius broke down on the witness stand during his murder trial for the death of former girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The court had to temporarily adjourn Monday morning because the former Olympian broke down when asked what exactly he shouted when he moved toward the bathroom where he claims he believed there was an intruder. When court was back in session, Pistorius broke down again when asked why he opened fire, and the court had to be temporarily adjourned for a second time. The tears bought Pistorius little sympathy with chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel, who accused him of “concocting†a new series of events. “You’re tailoring your version as you’re sitting there,†he told Pistorius.
