Oscar Pistorius: South Africa gears up for its 'trial of the century'

(CNN) -- He was one of South Africa's favorite sons, an amputee track star who defied all the odds and sprinted into the hearts of millions during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. She was a staggering beauty with the brains to match, a law graduate and model whose star was on the rise.

In a dramatic scene before the packed courtroom Tuesday, Pistorius left briefly at one point to change out of his dark suit and into a white shirt and shorts, similar to the clothes he was wearing when he killed Steenkamp.

Prompted by his lawyer, Pistorius then took off his prosthesis and stood on his stumps by the bullet-marked toilet door, which has remained in the courtroom for much of the trial. It appeared to be an effort by the defense to illustrate what they describe as the Olympian's vulnerability at the time of the shooting.

Anybody have a feed yet? I want to listen to those birds chirruping.

I heard on BBC radio this morning a commentator saying how media are all agonising about how Nel will approach his cross with OP, and if he will risk going in hard to anger and pressure him. That's a fascinating question for me too - I think OP simply won't answer if he's put under pressure.

By that, I mean he'll 'refuse' by means of breaking down. I don't think he is accustomed to being forced to do something he doesn't want to, somehow.
 
It will be interesting to see how Nel decides to come at him. If he goes in hard, he risks OP shutting down but if he goes in soft, he'll be seen as pandering to his celebrity status.

I think Nel's cross-exam is going to be riveting!
 
He's just arrived at court zwiebel so will still probably be another few minutes.
 
zwi.....I have traffic in front of the court house on the telegraph site
 
OP in witness box, looking pale and drinking water.

Ah yes, got it. I'm worried that site will let me down at the vital parts - I haven't had much luck so far...
 
grabbing a seat. Do you think OP will last an hour? Mi Lady needs to make OP answer the questions and stop blubbering like a baby! Mr. Gun Happy, and I'm so tough!
 
Thanks for letting us know.

If you're looking for another channel scroll down further on the first post and there are several other links under "Live Streaming". HTH

Its all good, watching live on channel 199 this side. :)
 
Something I would clarification on, since everyone keeps posting 3:17 as the time of the second set of "bangs", is if they didn't happen until 3:17, why are there phone records in evidence showing people having called security before 3:17 to report having just heard shots fired?
 
"Before I knew it I'd fired 4 shots".
How careless has he made himself sound with that line.
 
I think Nel's cross-exam is going to be riveting!

In his testimony yesterday he placed an sack full of ammunition on Nel's lap, and
his testimony of facts :) has only just started!
