Ahead of his murder trial, South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius, better known as the blade runner has hired a team of American forensic experts to help challenge the case against him.
According to CNN, the forensic team will give expert testimony to cast doubt on evidence entered against the blade runner.
Pistorius has admitted to shooting model Reeva Steenkamp dead in his home on Valetine's Day. Pistorius claims he mistook his girlfriend for a home invader when he fired shots from a pistol through a bathroom door that she was behind.
The state has indicted him for pre-meditated murder, and he faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison, if convicted.He has also been indicted for allegedly violating South Africa's firearms control act. About 107 witnesses are expected to testify against him.
