Friday, October 17 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    The cousin of Reeva Steenkamp on Thursday said Oscar Pistorius should "pay for what he's done" and testified that she did not believe that the athlete's courtroom apology to the family of the woman he killed was sincere.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Gerrie Nel, prosecutor:

    "You were in court when the accused made a public apology. How did you feel about that?"

    UPSOUND (English) Kim Martin, cousin of Reeva Steenkamp ++ OFF CAMERA, OVERLAID WITH VARIOUS OF COURT ROOM, PARENTS OF REEVA STEENKAMP AND OSCAR PISTORIUS++

    "Unfortunately, my lady, I did not feel that the apology was genuine. I remember crying and it made me realise that...well, it brought back to reality why we were here and that was because Reeva was dead. Unfortunately, it did not seem sincere."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Gerrie Nel, prosecutor:

    "How do you feel about the accused now and what are your views on the sentence?"

    UPSOUND (English) Kim Martin, cousin of Reeva Steenkamp: (++ OFF CAMERA, OVERLAID WITH VARIOUS OF COURT, OSCAR PISTORIUS++)

    "I am very fearful of the accused. I have tried very hard to put him out of my mind. We have even made a point of not mentioning his name in our house."
