Former South Africa's Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius does not have the financial capability to cover a new trial over the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius' lawyer argued in papers filed with the South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal that it wold be too long and complex, he said the first trial was subject to intense public scrutiny which would contaminate and confuse the reliability and objectivity of another hearing.
Mr Roux argues the State is trying to attack Ms Masipa’s finding that Pistorius did not intend to kill Ms Steenkamp, and that it was not allowed to do this. The Court of Appeal is expected to consider the matter in November 2015.
