Day Four of the Oscar Pistorius Trial centered around the continued cross-examination of neighbor Charl Johnson and the discussion of just how many gunshots he heard and from what kind of gun. His testimony had to stop yesterday after he asked to retrieve his notes from the shooting death of Reeva Steenkamp last Valentine's Day.
Pistorius' lead defense attorney, Barry Roux, asked Johnson if he heard screaming and gunshots- Johnson owns a 9mm pistol and says he recognized the sound of the gunfire.
A radiologist was called to the stand later in the day and went through the scene when he came upon it after Steenkamp was shot. Johan Stipp said in his testimony that he recalls Pistorius admitting he shot Steenkamp.
It's the first time in open court that the immediate aftermath of the shooting has been discussed as well where Stipp described the scene as Pistorius tried to stop Steenkamp from bleeding out and prayed over her body in the front of their house.
