Oscar Pistorius Settles Assault Case While Murder Trial Loom
Pistorius is alleged to have shot and killed his lover at his home this past Valentine’s Day. The murder trial is set to commence in March. As for the civil lawsuit, he was accused of injuring Cassidy Taylor-Memmory when he thrust a door shut and struck it with his hand. In his own words, he is feeling much less stress with having to deal with two legal cases at the same time.
Now that he is free of any encumbrances from the civil trial, he will have his full energies to devote to his defense in the death of Reeva Steenkamp. Prosecutors have charged him with premeditated murder for her shooting death. He maintains that he mistook her for a home invader when he dropped her with a handgun.
