南非“刀鋒戰士”首次出庭
South African track star Oscar Pistorius has made his first court appearence since being granted bail in February over the killing of his girlfriend.
The pre-trial hearing in Pretoria Tuesday was brief, with the magistrate agreeing to postpone the proceedings until August 19. Lawyers had asked for more time to prepare for the case.
Pistorious is facing murder charges for shooting and killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home in Pretoria on February 14.
Pistorius, known as the "blade runner" for his carbon-fiber legs, has admiting shooting Steenkamp but insists he mistook her for an intruder.
Pistorius became an inspirational hero to millions as the first double amputee to compete against able-bodied competitors at the London Olympics last year.南非田徑明星皮斯托瑞斯自2月殺害女友後獲准保釋以來，首次出庭。
星期二，在比勒陀利亞舉行了短暫的審前聽證，法官同意將庭審推遲到8月19日。律師要求更多時間來準備應訴。
皮斯托瑞斯2月14日在比勒陀利亞的家中開槍打死他的女友斯廷坎普，他被控犯有謀殺罪。
皮斯托瑞斯因裝有碳纖維義肢而被稱爲“刀鋒戰士”。他承認曾向斯汀坎普開槍，但堅稱當時他將女友誤認做闖入家中的竊賊。
