Lawyer slams Pistorius defence team for bringing up 'two defences'

Oscar Pistorius was an “appalling witness” who repeatedly lied in his testimony in a crude attempt to defend himself against a murder charge over killing his girlfriend, the chief prosecutor at his trial has said.

During closing arguments, Gerrie Nel also harshly criticised the legal team of the double-amputee, saying it floated more than one theory about what happened on the night he shot Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door in his home.
