This serves as a reminder that Oscar Pistorius will appear in court next Monday. The South African champion faces accusations of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, with his defense claiming that he mistook her for a burglar.
During this court appearance, Pistorius is expected to learn the trial date and the charges against him. According to his legal team, the trial may not commence until 2014.
At 26 years old, Pistorius was at the pinnacle of his fame just a year ago after participating in the London Olympics. He made history as the first disabled male athlete to compete alongside able-bodied athletes, running with carbon prosthetics shaped like feline paws, earning him the nickname “Blade Runner.”
