Oscar Pistorius court case delayed until August as judge claims he faces 'trial by media'

0 comments

Oscar Pistorious appeared in court today over the killing of his girl Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day this year, but the trial was postponed until August 19th after prosecutors asked for more time to build the murder case against him.

The judge in the case also said the Paralympian has faced 'trial by media' due to the relentless reporting on the case. Oscar will remain on bail until the trial begins later this year or early next year.
 
Meanwhile, Rugby player Francois Hougaard, who is also late Reeva Steenkamp's boyfriend is on a list of prosecution witnesses set to appear in the case. There are are unconfirmed reports that Francois and Reeva were exchanging text messages the night she was killed. Reeva was holding her mobile phone when she was shot inside the toilet.

Also on the witness list are a few of Oscar's neighbours who claimed they heard loud shouting coming from Oscar's home on the evening Reeva was killed.

Reeva's mum also claimed in a TV interview recently that her daughter and Oscar argued a lot 
in the weeks leading up to her death and Reeva told her she was afraid of being in Oscar's company.
