Pistorius Arrives For Court Appearance

((HT: London Telegraph))

Pretoria, South Africa prosecutors will pursue a charge of premeditated murder against Oscar Pistorius for killing his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, overnight Thursday at his home. She was shot four times by the world-class sprinter who claims he thought she was an intruder.

Pistorius' family and management team produced the following statement after they left the courtroom where no plea was entered:

"The alleged murder is disputed in the strongest terms... He would also like to express his thanks through us today for all the messages of support he has received -- but as stated our thoughts and prayers today should be for Reeva and her family -- regardless of the circumstances of this terrible, terrible tragedy,"
