Pistorius
27, has posted his first tweet since the trial of him being accused of killing
his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp in his house on February 14 2013.
The
first tweet on Sunday, his first since February, quoted Psalm 34:18: "The
Lord is close to the brokenhearted."
He
has told the court in Pretoria that he shot Steenkamp four times through a
locked bathroom door in his apartment after mistaking her for an intruder.
Prosecutors say he deliberately killed her after an argument.
The
tweets triggered an avalanche of reactions, with some wishing the athlete well
while others question his sincerity and call him a "murderer".
The
double-amputee sprinter's second tweet was a photo collage of himself with
disabled children, including a young girl with artificial legs similar to his
running on a track.
The
accompanying text reads:
"You
have the ability to make a difference in someones life (sic). Sometimes it's
the simple things you say or do that can make someone feel better or inspire
them."
This
was followed on Monday by a photograph of what appeared to be a section of text
from Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl's memoir entitled "Man's Search for
Meaning".
"I
understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss,
be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved," part
of the text read.
Next,
he posted a tweet of a poster reading: "Lord, today I ask that you bathe
those who live in pain in the river of your healing. Amen."
..........
I maintain my initial stand on this trial. I believe it was a mistake and her death was accidental. Even if the court finally finds him guilty, he will still remain innocent to me. And yes he deserves a second chance.
