Next, the indict­ment says, wit­ness­es heard gun­shots and more scream­ing at the home of the Par­a­lympic cham­pi­on, who says he shot his girl­friend by mis­take on Valen­tine's Day.<p>The sequence of events out­lined Mon­day could bol­ster an argu­ment that the double-amputee Olympian was intent on killing Reeva Steenkamp after an alter­ca­tion and was not react­ing fear­ful­ly to what he thought was an intru­sion in his home, as he has said. Pros­e­cu­tors revealed a list of more than 100 wit­ness­es, some of whom live in the gated com­mu­ni­ty where she was killed.<p>Pis­to­rius wept and prayed in court as he held hands with his broth­er and sis­ter before being served with the indict­ment. The ath­lete will face an addi­tion­al charge of ille­gal pos­ses­sion of ammu­ni­tion when his block­buster trial starts on March 3 in a court in the South African cap­i­tal, Pre­to­ria.<p>The indict­ment in the Pre­to­ria Mag­is­trate's Court yield­ed new details about how pros­e­cu­tors will pur­sue a case that has gripped the world because of the celebri­ty sta­tus of Pis­to­rius, who over­came his dis­abil­i­ty to become a glob­al phe­nom­e­non, only to see his name and accom­plish­ments tar­nished by his role in a vio­lent death. The tim­ing of the indict­ment was melan­cholic because Steenkamp would have cel­e­brat­ed her 30th birth­day on Mon­day.<p>The main charge laid by pros­e­cu­tors car­ries a manda­to­ry sen­tence of life impris­on­ment with a min­i­mum of 25 years in prison if Pis­to­rius is con­vict­ed. The pros­e­cu­tion's allu­sion to a pos­si­ble fight between the cou­ple at Pis­to­rius' villa before the shoot­ing rais­es the pos­si­bil­i­ty of a motive.<p>Pis­to­rius denies com­mit­ting mur­der and says he mis­took Steenkamp for a dan­ger­ous night­time intrud­er. He says he thought she was in bed when he fired four shots through the locked toi­let door, and only shout­ed at her to call the police before real­iz­ing what had hap­pened. Steenkamp was hit three times by the shots.<p>Pros­e­cu­tors also said in the indict­ment papers that Pis­to­rius shot \"with the inten­tion to kill a person,\" and even if his story is found to be true, he was still guilty of mur­der. That sec­ondary argu­ment seem­ing­ly allows for the pos­si­bil­i­ty that Pis­to­rius could escape the more seri­ …","sourceURL":"http://bigstory.ap.org/article/oscar-pistorius-arrives-south-african-court","allowFullscreenImage":true,"inlineImage":{"mediumURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/ap.org/a7bbe44e921a46e443479675a0ce1cae4d70f0db/original.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/ap.org/a7bbe44e921a46e443479675a0ce1cae4d70f0db/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":460,"original_height":304,"original_hints":"face-238-127-52,rgb-89-86-83,color,dark,focus-238-127,photo"},"readButtonCaption":"Read Article","sourceMagazineURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/flipmag?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.flipboard.com%2Fap.org%2F24aee3544ea906fe70da821e8b66eb2d2077e54a%2Fd79222936e26de3f608773ac970b56d8f865c1aa%2Farticle.html&partner=associatedpress&tml§ion=flipboard%2Fcurator%252Fmagazine%252FW2wvCWhfQ4-0RVsG8_C0Zg%253Am%253A47911228&fallbackTml","language":"en","article":{"sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FW2wvCWhfQ4-0RVsG8_C0Zg%3Am%3A47911228","partnerID":"associatedpress","url":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/ap.org/24aee3544ea906fe70da821e8b66eb2d2077e54a/d79222936e26de3f608773ac970b56d8f865c1aa/article.html"},"authorDisplayName":"GERALD IMRAY","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/3906303/APLogo_Twitter_reasonably_small.jpg"},"referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"Alvin Dawkins","authorUsername":"aldawkns","userid":"47911228","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/a1bbe6b23faf92dd627397d87914e2ed88d6fab9.jpg"},"text":"","urls":["http://bigstory.ap.org/article/oscar-pistorius-arrives-south-african-court"],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"I48l22NVTmeF6QxXlOlyUQ:a:47911228","dateCreated":1376906955,"ingestionTime":1377227128,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/user%2F47911228","title":"Alvin Dawkins","linkType":"user","username":"aldawkns","userID":"47911228","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/a1bbe6b23faf92dd627397d87914e2ed88d6fab9.jpg"}},{"type":"magazine","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FW2wvCWhfQ4-0RVsG8_C0Zg%3Am%3A47911228","title":"World News Watch","referringText":"World News Watch","image":{"smallURL":"http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/69348000/jpg/_69348511_69348046.jpg"}}],"original":{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"The Associated Press","authorUsername":"AP","userid":"51241574","authorURL":"https://twitter.com/AP","authorDescription":"News, discussion and a behind-the-scenes look at the process from The Associated Press.

dur­ing its annu­al film fes­ti­val in May.<p>A Cannes Kro­nom­e­try lux­u­ry watch store was also raid­ed in July.<p>Police are explor­ing a pos­si­ble link between the heists and the escape of a mem­ber of the noto­ri­ous Pink Pan­ther organ­ised crime gang.<p>Milan Popar­ic was freed from a Swiss jail by accom­plices car­ry­ing AK-47 auto­mat­ic rifles, mak­ing him the third Pink Pan­ther to

And in his time off, he comes to Bus­tan al-Qasr to wait for the snipers to open fire.<p>The pave­ment he sits on is dot­ted with dark brown blood stains.<p>\"On aver­age I treat about 10 peo­ple a day, every sin­gle day, but Fri­days are always the worst,\" he says. \"Yes­ter­day about 30 peo­ple were shot here.\"<p>Every­body reacts dif­fer­ent­ly to the sound of the sniper's bul­let.<p>When shots ring out, the sea of peo­ple in the mar­ket­place parts as most peo­ple press them­selves against the walls of the build­ings - as if, some­how, that will save them.<p>But the fatal­is­tic ones just carry on walk­ing straight down the mid­dle of the road in a ges­ture of defi­ance.<p>\"Some­times they just fire in the air, to scare people,\" I am told. But some­times they do not - Sam's work bears wit­ness to that.<p>The fre­net­ic ener­gy of Bus­tan al-Qasr's mar­ket­place is super-charged with fear.<p>\"At first we stayed away,\" a mar­ket trad­er tells me. \"But then we start­ed com­ing back. What else can we do? We have to live.\"<p>Sara is an activist and a stu­dent and she runs the gaunt­let every week. Her home is on the rebel side of the city and she cross­es over to pick up her notes from the Uni­ver­si­ty, which is in the regime-held part.<p>Dur­ing exams, she crossed almost every day in her deter­mi­na­tion to do well. \"One day I crossed in the morn­ing, and by the time I came back 15 peo­ple had been killed there,\" she says.<p>She did pass her exams but she is dis­ap­point­ed with her marks. \"I did bet­ter last year,\" she tells me. \"No wonder,\" I reply.<p>And many fam­i­lies in wartime Alep­po c …","sourceURL":"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23696829","allowFullscreenImage":true,"inlineImage":{"mediumURL":"http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/69307000/jpg/_69307838_bustanalkasr.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/bbcimg.co.uk/gig_3Dbbc-flipmag/c949b464de4cb02768fe08cfd3e808544d626ea4/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":624,"original_height":400,"original_hints":"color,photo,rgb-119-123-129"},"readButtonCaption":"Read Article","sourceMagazineURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/flipmag?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.flipboard.com%2Fbbc.co.uk%2Fgig_3Dbbc-flipmag%2F6cb723c94602e425f18191bfa72ad29b2a3dd123%2F0a527363541da6fbd564e2b8ccb2ac5d759fd540%2Farticle.html&partner=bbc&tml§ion=flipboard%2Fcurator%252Fmagazine%252FW2wvCWhfQ4-0RVsG8_C0Zg%253Am%253A47911228&fallbackTml","language":"en","article":{"sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FW2wvCWhfQ4-0RVsG8_C0Zg%3Am%3A47911228","partnerID":"bbc","url":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/bbc.co.uk/gig_3Dbbc-flipmag/6cb723c94602e425f18191bfa72ad29b2a3dd123/0a527363541da6fbd564e2b8ccb2ac5d759fd540/article.html"},"authorDisplayName":"By Hannah Lucinda Smith Bustan al-Qasr, Aleppo, Syria","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/twimg.com/639f4e03cd91b846e03e47e5cb411a0867eb5f65/thumbnail.jpg"},"referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"Alvin Dawkins","authorUsername":"aldawkns","userid":"47911228","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/a1bbe6b23faf92dd627397d87914e2ed88d6fab9.jpg"},"text":"","urls":["http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23696829"],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"xp8gxmtbQ5a_UzV2JRvD0Q:a:47911228","dateCreated":1376788453,"ingestionTime":1377227128,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/user%2F47911228","title":"Alvin Dawkins","linkType":"user","username":"aldawkns","userID":"47911228","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/a1bbe6b23faf92dd627397d87914e2ed88d6fab9.jpg"}},{"type":"magazine","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FW2wvCWhfQ4-0RVsG8_C0Zg%3Am%3A47911228","title":"World News Watch","referringText":"World News Watch","image":{"smallURL":"http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/69348000/jpg/_69348511_69348046.jpg"}}],"id":"flipboard-xp8gxmtbQ5a_UzV2JRvD0Q:a:47911228-1376788453"}],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"xp8gxmtbQ5a_UzV2JRvD0Q:a:47911228","dateCreated":1376788453,"ingestionTime":1377227128,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/mix%2F30759866","title":"BBC World","referringText":"BBC World","linkType":"user","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/twimg.com/639f4e03cd91b846e03e47e5cb411a0867eb5f65/thumbnail.jpg"}}],"partnerID":"bbc","flipboardSocialId":"flipboard-xp8gxmtbQ5a_UzV2JRvD0Q:a:47911228-1376788453","sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2FW2wvCWhfQ4-0RVsG8_C0Zg%3Am%3A47911228","time":313,"count":11,"rssText":null}]
