Killer Athlete Parades Deformed Legs For Pity

Oscar Pistorius found fame as the legendary "Blade Runner" who used prosthetic legs to become a champion runner — but he stripped them off in a bid for pity while trying to beat murder charges! The athlete had been convicted in October 2014 on homicide charges for the shooting death of his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The blonde beauty was only 29 when she was shot three times by Pistorius, with the athlete insisting that he had mistaken her for an intruder. Pistorius has been appealing his case to the Constitutional Court in South Africa. He took off his prosthetic legs and hobbled through the courtroom at the request of his defense lawyer Barry Roux.

Pistorius wasn't wearing a set of his prosthetic legs on the evening of the fatal shooting on Valentine's Day, 2013. But any hopes that the defense attorney had for sympathy were seemingly soon crushed after the prosecutors ridiculed Roux's claim that his client was a "broken man." Pistorius is trying to stay out of prison after serving only one year of a five-year manslaughter sentence — but the prosecutors had plans to shame him in court!

The judge was told that the grieving father of Reeva was the only true "broken man" in court. The judge then ruled that pictures of Reeva's bullet-riddled body could be released — despite Pistorius using bullets that exploded on impact, ruining his victim's beauty.

Reeva's parents even had to choose which photos to release — and bravely chose pictures that revealed how the shots that Pistorius fired through a bathroom door had destroyed her body as she died hiding behind a toilet. Defense attorney Roux, however, has continued to insist that "emotions" were getting in the way of the facts in his client's case.
