Shocking witness reports, “herbal remedies,” and empty bladders. Dispatches from Pistorius' bail hearing.
At Oscar Pistorius' bail hearing Wednesday, investigating officer Hilton Botha testified with witness reports from the night of Reeva Steenkamp's death.

Witnesses apparently heard two to three shots and saw the lights in Pistorius' window come on. They heard a woman scream, then heard two to three more shots fired 17 minutes later. According to prosecutors, these witnesses also heard "non-stop shouting."
The defense countered that the bedroom is "pitch dark" when the curtains and blinds are closed. The witness also didn't say whether she heard the voices of Pistorius or Steenkamp specifically.

There was also a dispute about how far away the witness lived — 300 meters or 600 meters.
