Pistorius lawyer Barry Roux asked his client to walk in the court on his stumps to show the difficulty he faced while dealing with the threat of an intruder. In response, prosecutor Gerrie Nel asked the court to display photos of Steenkamp's bloodied head and torso after the shooting. Oscar Pistorius shuffled without his prosthetic legs through a Pretoria court on Wednesday to demonstrate how vulnerable he is without his artificial limbs, an attempt by the athlete's defense team to avoid a long jail sentence for murder. "The accused was vulnerable because of his disability," Roux said, asking for a non-custodial sentence that included community service. The victim's father Barry Steenkamp said on Tuesday Pistorius must pay for his crime and asked the court to show pictures of his daughter's body as a deterrent to would-be killers.
