he's been replaced, as you said, by the south african top detective. this is about saving face, the credibility of this case. and i think now that that particular investigating officer has nothing to do with the way the investigation is going to continue, i think oscar pistorius will continue to face some serious questions from the state's prosecutor. >> so the prosecution, robyn, said that today the steenkamp locked herself in the bathroom with the cell phone in fear. tell us what they're saying about her cowering in the bathroom and what she thought was happening around her? >> reporter: you know, i spent the whole day in the courtroom and it was riveting. it kind of ebbed and flowed between between what happened and what didn't happen. you still by the end of the day couldn't get a clear sense because of course each side is presenting their own version of events. it's still unclear, but what is very clear is that the state's prosecutor really ripped into oscar pistorius' affidavit. he said, for example, if reeva had got nupt middle of the night why

but of course, south african police say they had previously responded to calls from pistorius' home forations of a quote/unquote domestic nature. did you ever see a dark side of him? >> i really didn't. and i would like to clear up that domestic call that i think the police are referring to. it was a few years ago, actually, i wasn't there. he had a party at his home, and there was alcohol involved, and he had asked a girl to leave his home. and as she left, he slammed the door, and the door apparently hit her leg, and she called the police. and a case of abuse was led against him, and charges were never pressed. >> vanessa, can you talk a little about what you know about oscar's relationship with guns? back in 2011, he had tweeted a picture of himself at a shooting range, and there are also reports that he kept a gun by his bed. some people said he had an arsenal of guns. is that true? >> as far as i know, he only had the one handgun, which i know he kept only for protection, i think, being disabled, he sometimes felton safe and felt the need to keep a gun for safety. south africa isn'
