Oscar pistorius is back in court. For the third week of his murder trial. The paralympic runner faces a pre meditated murder charge. In the killing of his girlfriend, model reeva steenkamp. Pistorius says, he mistook her for an intruder. For the last two week, pistorious defense team has questioned every witness who casts doubt on his story that he thought steenkamp was a burglar and mistakenly acted in what he believed was selfdefense.

Theres no question that he shot her through a bathroom door in his house early on valentines day last year, hitting her with three hollowtipped bullets, one of which probably killed her almost instantly.
