Oscar Pistorius charged with murder

[the Talking Can]

Pretoria, South Africa (CNN) -- It was the middle of the night, Oscar Pistorius says, and he thought an intruder was in the house. Not wearing his prosthetic legs, feeling vulnerable in the pitch dark and too scared to turn on the lights, the track star pulled his 9mm pistol from beneath his bed, moved toward the bathroom and fired into the door.

It was only after he called to girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp -- whom he thought had been in bed beside him after a quiet evening -- that he realized something horrible might have happened, he told Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair in a statement read by his lawyer during his bond hearing Tuesday. Prosecutors dispute the version of events that Pistorius detailed in his statement.

Pistorius says he broke down the locked bathroom door -- at one point in the statement saying he kicked the door in, at another saying he used a cricket bat to break it down -- then scooped up the mortally wounded Steenkamp and carried her downstairs after for help.

totally plausible

Quite simply, who locks the bathroom door when it's only you and your lover at home? Maybe you do it out of habit, but it's total BS IMO.

They should give Steenkamp's mother/father a loaded gun and some time alone with Oscar. Then the shoe will be on the other...err... foot?

I wonder what would make him spring to do this?

The defense is stumped as to how the prosecution claims he did this without his prosthetics on.
They claim that it could not have been him because there were two feet between Oscar and the bathroom door.
