The End

All of those years of hard work, all of the groundbreaking feats, all of the inspiration in the world will no longer count when you are accused of first-degree murder.

Pistorius is only 26, but he has basically fucked away his entire life, and for what, assuming he's guilty?

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said in court he would pursue a charge of premeditated murder against Pistorius for allegedly killing Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model known for her vamping, bikini pictures in men's magazines and appearances in cosmetics commercials. Police have said Steenkamp is 30. The discrepancy has not been explained.

Police said Friday that investigators conducted an autopsy on Steenkamp's body. Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale said the results of the autopsy would not be published.

Pistorius entered no plea at the hearing and his family left quickly, without speaking to journalists who followed them outside. In a statement later Friday, his family and management questioned the criminal charge the 26-year-old athlete faces.

"The alleged murder is disputed in the strongest terms," the statement read, without elaborating.

Of course there is a remote chance this was all a tragic accident, but it appears there was a history of domestic strife between the couple.

Somehow I don't think he will walk like O.J. Simpson did in his murder trial, and no, I am not making some idiotic joke about Oscar's disability. I just don't think he is going to get away with it.
