Pistorius trial: Defence expert witness returns to stand─── 06:16 Thu, 17 Apr 2014
Pretoria - Oscar Pistorius's trial will resume at the High Court in Pretoria today with defence expert witness Roger Dixonreturning to the stand.
After a tough cross-examination by prosecutor Gerrie Nel yesterday, Dixon was requested to produce literature to support evidence he gave in court.
Nel has disputed Dixon's claims that Reeva Steenkamp, who was shot and killed by her boyfriend Oscar Pistorius, fell backwards as a result of a bullet that struck her.
Dixon was also asked to produce his report on a gunshot sound test he testified on. He said the test had failed as the gun had jammed several times.
Today marks the 25th day of the trial, with Dixon being the third defence witness to testify. Pistorius is charged with Steenkamp's murder. He shot her through a locked bathroom at his Pretoria home on Valentine's Day last year.
