Oscar Pistorious Could Be Convicted For Murder

Oscar Pistorious lawyers have failed in their rigorous attempt to stop prosecutors appealing against Pistorious negligent killing conviction.

The Judge Thokozile Masipa, dismissed their application to challenge the appeal by prosecutors, who want Pistorious convicted of more serious charges of murder for shooting his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, severally in a bathroom right in his home on Valentine's Day in 2013.

According to the judge, 'The order that I grant in this matter is to strike off the application', the black robed Judge Masipa said in her ruling today.
