Oscar Pistorius and Legal Theatre | Jerm Warfare

Forensic scientist David Klatzow breaks down the Oscar Pistorius case. He covers the shooting of Reeva Steenkamp, police errors that marred the investigation, legal wrangling over intent, and the recklessness and self-defence that decided the verdict.

Klatzow draws on forensic evidence. He examines the acoustics of the scene and criticises how cross-examination and media hype shaped public perception. He closes with hard lessons about gun ownership and how badly the justice system handled a tragedy it should have got right.
