'Blade Runner' weeps in court

PRETORIA — Oscar Pistorius held his head in his hands and wept openly in court Friday as prosecutors said they would pursue a charge of premeditated murder against the Paralympic superstar.

Pistorius was formally charged at Pretoria Magistrate's Court with one count of murder after his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, a model and budding reality TV show contestant.

The 30-year-old was shot multiple times and died at Pistorius's upmarket home early Thursday morning.

    I don't know if Oscar Pistorius shot his girlfriend by mistake or he murdered her. That is for the count in S.A. to decide. But it has been reported that there had been trouble before this between the two.

    I will never understand why a woman will remain with a bloke who abuses her, either physically or mentally. It just doesn't make sense.
