The double-amputee Olympic hero faces charges of premeditated murder for shooting his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. In court Tuesday, Pistorius' lawyer read his affidavit. This is the full text.
"I am an adult male, SA citizen and applicant in this application and seek to be released on bail.
I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated murder because I had no intention to kill."
