Day 4 of Oscar Pistorius' Murder Trial: Major Updates

Today marked day four of Oscar Pistorius murder trial, and it proved an emotional few hours for the track star. Yet another neighbour and witness to the murder scene gave his testimony, but it seems it might help Pistorius’ defense. Here are the updates:

Raw: Pistorius Covers Head During Testimony

1. Neighbour Johan Stipp—who happens to be a doctor—described arriving on the scene of Reeva Steenkamp’s murder after hearing gunshots. He said he was surprised to learn that Pistorius had not called an ambulance yet when he arrived, despite the grisly scene. That seemed like damning testimony, but…

2. Stipp found Pistorius desperately trying to save Steenkamp, and screaming and praying for her life. “He definitely wanted her to live, yes. He looked sincere to me. He was crying. There were tears on his face,” he said.

3. Pistorius broke down in court and covered his head protectively as the doctor described the more graphic aspects of the scene, like the appearance of Steenkamp’s brain tissue and the milky appearance of her eyes.

Check out the Simpsons cartoon version of the famous Ellen's Oscar celeb selfie!

The Simpsons creator Matt Groening shared a wider cartoon version of the famous Oscars selfie on Tuesday that shows Homer Simpson getting booted out of the frame.
The 60-year-old animator posted the image showing a cartoon version of picture-taker Bradley Cooper pushing the back of Homer's head away with his heel while the stars smiled behind him.
'The ugly true story of that Oscar selfie can finally be told! Let's break Twitter again. Look for Bart,' read a tweet with the photo posted to the official Homer J. Simpson account.

The cartoon version of the picture included the original celebrities who were captured at the insistence of Oscars host Ellen DeGeneres during the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday.
Groening's artwork showed Bradley, Ellen, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Channing Tatum, Julia Roberts, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong'o and Lupita's brother.

 

The wider cartoon shot also included more of Best Supporting Actor winner Jared Leto who barely squeezed into the selfie that briefly broke Twitter on Sunday.

Broke Twitter: The selfie taken by Bradley Cooper broke the Twitter record for a retweet and disrupted service

'I've officially joined @TheSimpsons!' Jared tweeted along with an image of The Simpsons version.
The cartoon version also included Homer's mischievious son Bart with only the top of his head visible as he flashed horn fingers behind cartoon Meryl's head.
The original version of the selfie has been retweeted more than three million times and easily beat the previous record-holding picture of Barack Obama and his wife.

The 2012 'Four more years' photo of President Obama and the First Lady hugging was the previous record-holder with more than 782,000 retweets.
The Oscars selfie also inspired a Legos version.
The Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester in the UK on Tuesday also shared a photo of the toy version of the selfie on Twitter.
