Will the Jury Convict Oscar Pistorius? Oscar Pistorius reportedly seeking settlement with Reeva Steenkamp's family

If Pistorius is convicted of premeditated murder during his trial, which begins on March 3, the Blade Runner would likely face a large civil action payout to Steenkamp's family.

oscar Pistorius' lawyers are believed to be discussing a financial settlement with the parents of his former girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp following his indictment for her murder this week.

"The deceased, a 29-year-old woman, was shot and killed in the home of the accused just after 3am on 14 February 2013," the indictment stated. "The deceased had locked herself into a toilet cubicle, situated adjacent to the main bedroom. The accused armed himself with his 9mm pistol and through the locked door, fired four shots at the deceased. The deceased died on the scene. The cause of death is given in the postmortem report as 'multiple gunshot wounds'."

Witnesses heard a woman scream, followed by silence, gunshots and more screaming, the indictment continued. "The accused said to witnesses on the scene that he thought she was an intruder. Even then, the accused shot with the direct intention to kill a person. An error in persona will not affect the intention to kill a human being."

The summary does not address allegations made during Pistorius's bail hearing including the claim that the double amputee got out of bed, put on his prosthetic legs and carried out a "premeditated" murder. A source close to the defence backed weekend media reports that forensic tests show Pistorius was moving on his stumps at the time of the shooting

Pistorius is also accused of unlawfully possessing ammunition. Prosecutors submitted a list of 107 witnesses including Gina and Kim Myers and their mother, Desi, several former girlfriends and a professional boxer.
