while friends of his slain gf model Reeva
Steenkamp were "visibly distressed" as the
double-amputee was indicted on a premeditated
murder charge.
At a hearing today in Pretoria, South Africa,
prosecutors accused him of shooting Ms
Steenkamp to death on Valentine's night, but he
claimed he opened fire on her after mistaking
her for an intruder.
Pistorius stood in the dock of the courtroom,
and wiped away tears. He also held hands with
his brother Carl and sister Aimee.
The court later set March 3 as the trial date for
Pistorius.
If found guilty of premeditated murder,
Pistorius will face at least 25 years in prison.
Meanwhile, today is Ms Steenkamp's
birthday. She would have turned 30 today,
August 19th.
