This morning, the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein overturned Pistorius' initial conviction and essentially charged him with murder for killing his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
In a fairly brief judgment by Judge Eric Leach, Pistorius was found to have been indirectly murderous in his actions by firing four shots onto a closed bathroom door when not knowing who or if anyone was behind it.
Pistorius was convicted at the Pretoria High Court last year of the culpable homicide of Steenkamp, whom he allegedly mistook for an intruder at his Pretoria East home on Valentine's Day 2013. The state revealed shortly after the conviction it would attempt to overturn the culpable homicide conviction at the Supreme Court of Appeal in a bid to charge the athlete with murder.
