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.
