Oscar Pistorius had no mental disorder


Oscar Pistorious did not have a mental disorder when he killed his girlfriend, a psychological reports has said.

Oscar’s trial resumed today with that conclusion meaning, the Olympic athlete was criminally responsible for his actions when he shot and killed his girlfriend on February 14.
The need for the evaluation had come up after his defence team said, Mr Pistorius was suffering from an anxiety disorder.

Pistorius denied deliberately killing Reeva Steenkamp. He said he shot her accidentally in a state of panic after mistaking her for an intruder. The prosecution is saying he deliberately killed Ms Steenkamp following an argument.

Both prosecution and defence have accepted the results of the psychological report but it is yet published.

The state prosecutor Gerri Nel, reading from the Psychologist report, “Mr Pistorius did not suffer from a mental illness or defect that would have rendered him criminally not responsible for the offence charged”

The judge, Thokozile Masipa said she had only received the report on Monday morning and was yet to read it, AFP news agency reported.


If they had asked me I would have just told them, he was sane when he shot her but I still believe it was an accident.

Just some few months ago, this guy was seen as a hero, an unbreakable human being able to run with both the disable and able. Today one wrong decision has brought him to where he could have never imagine he would be. Am feeling so sorry for him. True justice would never be done here no matter the outcome of this trial. Someone is dead and she would never come back.
