Oscar Pistorius took the witness stand today April 7th to
tell is own version of what happened on the day he shot his girlfriend four
times through a bathroom window, killing her. A sobbing Oscar then apologized
to Reeva's parents, saying he was trying to protect and not to take her
life...,,
I want to take this opportunity to apologise to Mr and Mrs Steenkamp. There
hasn't been a moment since this tragedy happened that I haven't thought about
your family
"I wake up every morning
and you're the first people I think of. The first people I pray for. I can’t
imagine the pain and the sorrow and the emptiness that I’ve caused you and your
family.
"I was simply trying to
protect Reeva. I can promise you that when she went to bed that night she felt
loved. I have tried to put my words on paper many times to write to you but no
words would ever suffice.' Continue..
He also told the court his struggles since the incident,
saying he wakes up every morning 'smelling blood..and terrified". He
claimed he suffers from panic attacks and takes anti-depressant medicine.
'I'm scared to sleep. I can smell blood and wake up
terrified. I climbed into a cupboard and I phoned my sister to come and sit by
me, which she did for a while. I'm just in a complete state of terror. I fall
asleep and wake up like that.' He said
