Seagazer Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I agree with a lot of what has been written on here. I was quite shocked when I heard what had happened to Miss Steenkamp. We also saw him run at the Paralympics, he was one of the 'faces' of the Olympics/Paralympics. I feel shocked by his actions, whether he thought his girlfriend was an intruder or not. I feel this way about Lance Armstrong too, he cheated his way to winning his titles. People look up to these athletes, whether they should or not is neither here nor there. In my mind I'd rather look up to an athlete than a bit part 'celeb' famous for falling out of clubs etc. But at the end of the day they're all humans with human failings and just because they are athletes or celebs doesn't make them perfect or even nice people. I heard some of the details of the defence today on the news. I have no idea how they will decide whether he deliberately killed her or if indeed he thought she was an intruder.
