CAPE TOWN - Legless Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius arrived Monday for his trial in Pretoria for the shooting death of his model girlfriend, with South Africans closely following a case that could send him to prison for 25 years or more.
South African press coverage of the slaying of Reeva Steenkamp in a bathroom in Pistorius' Pretoria home a year ago has been intense, with the feel of a tragic soap opera.
