Will this now be the new defence trend for murder in South Africa?
There is a group of dedicated supporters from as a far as Sweden and Spain who have created a blog called Support for Oscar Pistorius, the goal of which is give people the platform to express their support for the champion Paralympian.
Support for Oscar Pistorius was created last June and allows people all over the world to post messages, photos and even poems expressing their support for Oscar.
Mira Teuber, a Germany-based supporter and one of the founders of the site said that the idea for the blog is to show him that there is significant support, compassion, faith and belief in him.
It also serves a channel for others to show their own messages of empathy and support.
According to Teuber, the blog has so far received more than 19,000 views from 67 countries in less than a month.
To our German posters here, who is Mira Teuber?
Mira Teuber aka Mira Toybear seems to be an hobby actress, had been in the actors crew of "Brainstorming" (an indepent film about making an amateur-film). If I had chose the right facebook account then she has studied at Universität Siegen and now is employee. She loves on TV: "Crime Scene Investigating" and "Criminal Minds". - She looks young, chubby and pretty.

That too big and regular missing block of door irritates me a lot..
After hitting and bashing I would assume an irregular breaking into pieces but that panel/s happened to break down as a whole big block miraculously helping OP - again- just leaning and getting the key .So even if that panel wasnt broken itself , OP would again go on bashing and make a big hole to lean thru it to get the key which was on the floor ready to be picked up![]()
From the affidavit...
I went back into the bedroom and grabbed my cricket bat to bash open the toilet door. A panel or panels broke off and I found the key on the floor and unlocked and opened the door.
We so far can see two of the bullet holes on the door. The distance between them and one of them being left down and the other righter up
suggests me those may be to the hip and the elbow ..What about the other bullet holes? i.e. the one to the head ? or maybe it doesn't exist on the door at all which I exactly believe.
So big absent piece of door- nonexistence of fatal shot hole on the door (I suggest) - key on the floor...all connected imo.
If the key was on the lock , a small breaking near the door handle would be sufficient and he would get the key .. But OP wanted to crash the door so big to hide evidence IMO .. and thats why that key on the floor was put there..For his leaning and squeezing inside the door there has to be a big hole...All those efforts are to hide the nonexistence of the shot to the head thru the door...Yepp No such shot at all..He tried to crash that part into pieces and we may hear that bullet hole was unfortunately on the breaking panel and disappeared while bashing.
Just my opinions..
http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/37081/20130807/oscar-pistorius-trial-date.htmOscar Pistoriuss trial date is coming near, in less than 12 days the famous double-amputee athlete, known as Blade Runner, will be back in South African courts on August 19. He claims his innocence from murdering his girlfriend on Valentines Day, saying he mistook her for a burglar.
The media sensationalism on the case gets a social media twist, now that a dedicated Twitter account focused on Oscar Pistorius murder case is active and live on the information network.
Twitter user, @OscarTrial has 2,857 followers and in its bio it says, Oscar Pistorius has been granted bail and now awaiting trial. Tweets are retweets of journalists as well as analysis.
Any questions please tweet @OscarTrial, it added.
Although the last tweet from the account is about the Vanity Fair article on the Oscar Pistorius case, retweeted from a message posted by BBC correspondent Nick Bryant, it is expected that it will soon become active.
Why Did Oscar Pistorius Kill Our Daughter documentary to be shown in South Africa
The controversial BBC documentary Why Did Oscar Pistorius Kill Our Daughter? will be screened on Discovery Channel in South Africa this Sunday, according to the Times Live.
Yes, exactly the right question!!THE LADDER
2. Did he phone his friendly neighbour to put it there before the police came? If so, would this be one of the calls he does not want police to know about?
His friendly neighbour is an attorney (female), I remember.
6. OP's knowledge that the ladder was there plus sleeping with balcony doors open does not indicate a man who was security conscious, does it?
THE LADDER
The ladder has always interested me. It seems so convenient for a ladder to be placed on the ground outside the bathroom window.
I hope that they have checked for DNA on that ladder and have found out who put it there.
I have had several theories and have questions about this ladder:
1. If OP premeditated this murder, he could have put it there himself before that evening having borrowed it from his friendly neighbour.
2. Did he phone his friendly neighbour to put it there before the police came? If so, would this be one of the calls he does not want police to know about?
BIB 1 - 3. Were painters really painting OP's house at the time?
BIB 2 - 4. Can you remember what Botha said about it at the Bail hearing?
BIB 3 - 5. Do you really think an intruder could have got into that small bathroom window?
6. OP's knowledge that the ladder was there plus sleeping with balcony doors open does not indicate a man who was security conscious, does it?

He [Botha] confirms Pistorius's statement that there were ladders found outside the house; it was being painted.

But the ladders were not next to the bathroom window as the defence suggested, Botha says.
His friendly neighbour is an attorney (female), I remember.
‘I saw Reeva die’
A young friend of murder accused Oscar Pistorius, called to his house the night the Paralympian shot his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, has told how she opened the door to see him carrying Steenkamp down the stairs, her body drenched in blood.
<modsnip>
The young woman, a lawyer, told police she and Pistorius did everything they could to save Steenkamp’s life.
But 29-year-old Steenkamp’s slender body was limp, the life draining out of her.
When the paramedics arrived a short while later, she said she and Pistorius stepped aside. Steenkamp was pronounced dead a short while later.
The young woman had asked her father to call an ambulance, but it remains unclear whether they were also called by neighbours, who alerted the complex’s security guards and police to the gunshots they heard just after 3am.
The young woman joins a line-up of witnesses, with Pistorius’s neighbours, members of the security company that operates at Silver Woods gated housing estate, and the paramedics.
