he says he saw pistorius weeping over reeva's body. also described how he tried to helper. >> i remember the first thing he said when i got there was that, he said, i shot her, i thought she was a burglar, and i shot her. she had no pulse in her peck no peripheral pulse she had no breathing moments that she made. she was clenching down on oscar's fingers as i was trying to open her airway. >> moments later he covered his ears when the doctor gave even more gruesome details about the condition of her body, saying it was obvious she was mortally wounded. joining me live from pretoria ayman mohyeldin. the doctor was the first person in the house after the shooting. do we know if he heard the gunshot and ran into the home? or was he called by oscar? how did he get in the home? >> you're absolutely right tamron, this is what makes him such an important witness. first of all, he lives directly next to oscar's house. more importantly he has a clear view from his own balcony. that night according to dr. johan stipp he was awoken in the middle

one of them passed a gun under the table to pistorius. then -- >> a shot went off in the restaurant. and then, there was complete silence. i was in shock. >> reporter: amid the chaos, pistorius asked his friend darren fresco, who passed him the pistol, to take the blame. >> i do remember oscar saying to darren, just say it was you. i don't want any attention around me. just say it was you. >> reporter: this denied by the superstar athlete. but while it could help prove firearms charges he faces, and could hurt his credibility, it does not prove he murdered his girlfriend. crucial to proving that is the sequence of events the night pistorius killed reeva skeenkamp. did witnesses hear screams before he shot through the bathroom door or after? it matters because it's alleged the couple was arguing before the shooting. this is the view of the trial oscar pistorius has. behind him, his family. before him, his defense team. and at the front of the room, the judge who'll decide his fate. he denies all of the charges. hamish macdonald, abc news,

pistorius' friend, professional boxer kevin lerena, told us pistorius was passionate about his gun collection. he testified he met a group of friends, including the track star, in a packed restaurant when pistorius accidentally fired a pistol under the table. larena said he was shocked. >> the bullet never hit my foot, thank god. the shrapnel caught me, i was a bit cut. i don't know what happened. how the gun went off. >> reporter: he total court pistorius asked a friend to take the blame for firing the gun. >> i do remember oscar saying, "please," to darin, "just say it was you. i don't want any tension around me. just say it was you." >> reporter: the defense will argue that pistorius kept guns for his own protection. they say he and steenkamp were in a loving relationship, and these security camera pictures taken 10 days before the shooting apparently show a happy and affectionate couple. a total of 107 witnesses will be called by the prosecution. amongst them, neighbors, ex- girlfriends, police, and forensic experts. now, the trial was initially scheduled for three weeks, scott, but is no

the next witnesses on the stand, an acquaintance of pistorius, a boxer, he testified how pistorius accidentlyed a gun at a restaurant just weeks before he killed his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. the man said pistorius asked another friend at the table to take the blame. >> he said, please, take the blame for me. there's too much media hype around me, please, take the game for me. when the restaurant owners came up, deron took the blame. >> joining me from pretoria is ayman mohyeldin. ayman, this incident that happened before reeva steenkamp was killed, what are attorneys or prosecutors trying to do with this witness or present with this witness? >> reporter: well, they are certainly trying to use the incident to highlight two very important developments. keep in mind that oscar pistorius, along with being charged for murder, is also being charged for an unlawful possession of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon, and unlawful use of ammunition. now their theory, according to at least some, is he was an individual who was around guns, had guns, used guns, so they are using this incident to show

oscar pistorius' friend, darren fresco, was someone who witnessed two previous incidents where pistoriusired a gun and he just so happens to be facing charges for those two incidents in this case. one of the incidents was back in september of 2010 when witnesses say oscar pistorius just raised the gun and shot out of the sunroof of a car. it all started apparently when this friend, fresco, got pulled over for speeding. pistorius was in the car, and got into it with the police officer. >> there was an altercation, a verbalel al itter occasion, between the accused and the metro police officer. >> what was it about? >> the officer had picked up the accused's weapon off the passenger seat. to which the accuser replied "you can't just touch another man's gun. ". >> this friend, fresco, got slapped with a fine for speeding and says pistorius was absolutely furious after this run-in with the police. and as they were driving away, here's what he said happened next. >> i was driving. the accuser in the passenger seat. sam taylor was in the back of the car. and then without prior warning, he shot

the doctor's testimony yesterday caused a strong emotional reaction from pistorius. at one point he appeared to be physically ill. >> four suspects have been arrested of a shooting at a memphis mall that sent shoppers running for cover. it was the result of a dispute between suspects and victim all who knew each other. >>> at the sea pac under way outside washington presidential hopefuls are jockeying for position. among those trying to rehab his battered image is chris christie. he urged republicans to focus on their own good ideas rather than tear down democratic proposals. >> when we say that we want to make a difference in our society we need to make a difference through free market reforms that have always worked in our country and we don't need to, mr. president, your opinion on what income equality is. we don't have an income equality problem. we have an opportunity inequality problem in perhaps the most enduring image from cpac comes from mitch mcconnell who took the stage brandishing a rifle. it turned out to be an nra lifetime achievement award for retiring

pistorius was quietly taking notes. some of reeva steenkamp's friends were also in court. >> it has been an uncomfortable weekend for oscar pistorius. his defense team has made it seem as if it is the south african police that are on trial. >> today, investigators were accused of stealing, lying, and contaminating vital evidence. and so, the end of another bruising but inconclusive day. bbc news, pretoria. public number of cities, transit was free. paris has been the worst affected. a lack of wind combined with unusually warm temperatures. the hope is that keeping cars off the road will freshen the air. millions will take advantage of the free ride. at least 1500 people have already been killed in iraq this year. month's elections, there are fears the country could once again descend into sectarian violence. over the past seven years, mark urban has reported from dÜrer. -- dura. tonight, he returns for this look. cross theh dura, you tigris, south of central baghdad. these days, the americans are isg gone, and the area

." >>> surprising at missions today in the oscar pistorius trial. the blade runner asked a witness to take the fall for shooting that was weeks before he shot and killed his girlfriend. let's go "out front." >>> good evening, everyone. i'm erin burnett. "out front" tonight, america caught off guard. serious questions about whether u.s. intelligence failed to predict what was happening on the ground in the ukraine. in an intense hearing senator john mccain hammered chuck hagel questioning him whether u.s. intelligence was aware of russia's plans to invade crimea. they said they were aware early last week but that did not satisfy john mccain. >> despite all the media reports, our intelligence sources predicted that labrov would invade crimea? >> i don't get into specifics at an open hearing, but if you would like a briefing, your staff on the specifics of your question -- >> how about commenting on news reports that say that. >> news reports are news reports, but that is not the same as real intelligence. >> okay. in other words, the fact is, mr. secr

that suggests a fair amount of time passed before oscar pistorius, you know, before he finds pistorius steenkamp on the ground. apparently pistorius had not yet called an ambulance. >> right. i think that is damaging testimony, if he had not actually called an ambulance. i believe he called sop of his security guards. it can be reasonable for him to get up and testify, i thought my security was going to call an ambulance. what i was trying to do is save her. he was apparently trying to save her. pressing on the one and had his fingers in her mouth trying to open the airway. that does actually help his argument this was self-defense and he did not intend to kill her. the issue here, the tricky thing for pistorius is going to be whether or not he is found guilty of the lesser crime of culpable homicide. where the judge would then determine that he was maybe negligent perhaps. it wasn't premeditated murder. he didn't actually intend to kill her but he was negligent in firing. i think that is much stronger case for them than what they're reaching for is overreaching in my opinion of premed
