Oscar Pistorius on track
After four days of combative hearings, A South African magistrate has granted bail to Oscar Pistorius, the double amputee track star accused of murdering his girlfriend in a case that has horrified and fascinated South Africa, after four days of combative hearing.

The decision was made known after Magistrate Desmond Nair heard impassioned final arguments between defense and prosecution in Courtroom C of the Pretoria Magistrates Court in the presence of an emotional Pistorius who has testified that he mistook his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, for an intruder and never intended to kill her.

Magistrate Nair said Pistorius did not represent a “flight risk,” and was not likely to interfere with state witnesses. The accused has made a case to be released on bail," the magistrate concluded.

Pistorius family members in the packed courtroom shouted: "Yes!" However the terms of the bail condition were not immediately disclosed.
