question. great reporting. thank you, robin kerr now, live for us in south africa. and you would think that race is a pretty big deal here in america, with the george zimmerman case and all. but race is a huge deal in south africa. it s the major reason why there are no jury trials in south africa. the criminal justice system there is vastly different than it is in the united states. jury trials in south africa were abolished in 1969. because under apartheid, there were some very serious worries that racial prejudice by white jurors against black defendants could manifest themselves in court. so a single judge, and as it turns out in this particular case, a black woman, who is presiding, decides the verdict and will decide the pistorius verdict. she must give clear reasons for her decision, as every other judge does there as well. in the high courts that look only at the most serious crimes, that judge gets a little help in the way of two people sitting at either side of her. they re c

it was one year ago today the double amputee known as the blade runner shot and killed his girlfriend at his home in south africa. he doesn t dispute he did it, but he says it was an accident. prosecutors have charged him, though, with premeditated murder, and now pistorius is actually breaking his long silence, releasing this statement about reeva steenkamp s death. saying that no words can adequately capture my feelings about the devastating accident that has caused such heart ache for everyone who truly loved and continues to love reeva. the pain and sadness, especially for reeva s parents family and friends consumes me with sorrow. the loss of reeva and complete trauma of that day, i will carry with me for the rest of my life. cnn s robin kerr has obtained new photos of the couple in happier times and the very latest on the pistorius upcoming trial.

0 of the greatest leaders of our time. he was he was one of the greatest teachers. he taught by example. he sacrificed so much and was willing to give up everything here for freedom and equality, for democracy and justice. his compassion stands out most. he was angry at injustice. he hated hatred. he showed awesome power and with each other and with the true meaning of peace. that was his unique gift and that was a lesson he shared with all human kind. he has done it again. look around the stadium. we see those representing many points of view and people from all walks of life. all i hear, all are united to y today. he left deep roots that reach across the world. as we listen to ban ki-moon praising nelson mandela, we want to welcome our viewers back from around the united states and around the world. i m chris cuomo, joined by christiane amanpour and robyn curn curnow. we ve just had the grand children come up, huge applause. and the crowd erupted for them. then maybe the moment o
