As a reminder, these are the 13 points the state is relying on to prove murder (intent/premeditation);
THE STATES 13 FACTS:
1. The state relies on the evidence of a witness. During the early hours of 14 February the
witness states to have heard, talking like fighting and a womans voice constantly talking. The witness formed the impression that the woman was arguing. This stopped after the shots were fired.
(Merwe)
2.
Two witnesses heard a woman scream before shots were fired.
(Johnson and Burger)
3. Another
two witnesses heard shots followed by the screams of a woman and then further shots. The screams were extinguished at the same time of the last shots.
(Dr. and Mrs. Stipp)
4.
Pistoriuss website activities from the time that he got home is in direct contrast to that of a loving couple spending time together.
(phone/ipad data expert)
5. The
amount, trajectory and grouping of the shots fired through a locked door can only be inferred to indicate a direct intention to kill the person behind the closed door.
(Malenga - ballistics guy)
6. The
position and condition of the gun in the bathroom.
(Van Rensburg)
7. On his own version, Pistorius armed himself, walked to the bathroom and
shot through the closed door without ascertaining who was behind the door or whether or not he was even faced with any danger.
(Pistorius)
8.
Steenkamp was clothed when she was shot.
(Van Rensburg, Van Staden)
9. Steenkamp was
standing upright facing the door when she was
shot.
(Malenga)
10. Steenkamp had
something to eat hours before she was killed.
(medical examiner)
11. The presence of the
cellphones in the bathroom militates against a version that Steenkamp innocently went to the toilet at the time.
(Van Rensburg, Van Staden)
12. The fact and the
way in which Pistorius broke down the toilet door.
(Vermuelen)
13.
Pistoriuss version is not reasonably possibly true and it is our case that if rejected by the court the objective facts will prove the murder with direct intent of the deceased.
(Pistorius, legal argument)
