Oscar Pistorius charged with premediated murder of his girlfriend



 Paralympian Oscar Pistorious was in court today and was formally charged with the premeditated murder of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. His lawyers had been dreaming about the lesser charge of manslaughter after Oscar claimed he shot Reeva dead in his home on Thursday February 14 2013 after mistaken her for an intruder. Thankfully the courts didn't buy his story and he will now face a murder trial that may run from now to March 20 2014 at North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria. The 6-time paralympic sprint champion may also face extra charges of allegedly discharging a handgun recklessly in two other incidents. If found guilty of premeditated murder, Oscar might be spending the remainder of his life in jail.
