Oscar Pistorius Brother Carl Facing Homicide Charge

Oscar Pistorius charged with murder of Reeva Steenkamp, Pretoria, South Africa - 22 Feb 2013

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The brother of Olympic star Oscar Pistorius is facing a culpable homicide charge for a 2008 road death, compounding problems for the family after the double-amputee runner was charged with premeditated murder in the Feb. 14 shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Lawyer Kenny Oldwage said in a statement that Carl had been involved in a car accident “in which a woman motorcyclist sadly lost her life.” He said that “there is no doubt that Carl is innocent and the charge will be challenged in court.”

Carl Pistorius was already in court last Thursday, as his brother Oscar was facing a bail hearing, and will appear again at the end of next month.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
