PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — The chief prosecutor
in the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius has ended his
cross-examination after challenging the athlete for
five days of testimony about how he killed girlfriend
Reeva Steenkamp last year.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said he had no further
questions late Tuesday morning after presenting his
case that Pistorius is lying in his account of
mistakenly shooting Steenkamp, and that the
double-amputee runner killed her intentionally after
an argument.
Pistorius shot Steenkamp through a closed toilet door
in his home before dawn on Feb. 14, 2013. The
athlete says that he thought she was an intruder
about to come out of the toilet to attack him.
Pistorius faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of
premeditated murder.
