  • Intro:

    Oscar Pistorius arrives at court in Pretoria, South Africa, ahead of his continuing cross-examination on Friday (11th April).

    Script:

    Oscar Pistorius arrived in court on Friday, prepared to face more tough questioning by the chief prosecutor in his murder trial but again broke down with emotion.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Gerrie Nel, Prosecutor:

    "Are you OK? You're not emotional?"

    UPSOUND: (English) Oscar Pistorius: ++NOT IN VISION, INCLUDES CUTAWAYS OF COURT++

    "No, I'm fine, my lady. If I kicked the fan it would have been in my favour to say I kicked the fan, to explain where the small fan landed up, but I can't say that, because I don't remember it. There are things that are in my favour if I say them, but I don't remember."

    UPSOUND: (English) Gerrie Nel, Prosecutor: ++NOT IN VISION++

    "But are you getting emotional?"

    UPSOUND: (English) Oscar Pistorius: ++NOT IN VISION++

    "Yes, I'm very emotional my lady."

    UPSOUND: (English) Gerrie Nel, Prosecutor: ++NOT IN VISION++

    "Why?"

    UPSOUND: (English) Oscar Pistorius: ++NOT IN VISION++

    "Because it's a difficult time for me to remember."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Gerrie Nel, Prosecutor:

    "But why would this question make you emotional?"

    UPSOUND: (English) Oscar Pistorius: ++NOT IN VISION, BEGINS ON MID OF NEL++

    "Because this is the night I lost the person that I cared about. I don't know how people don't understand that (breaks down)."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Thokozile Masipa, Judge:

    "Yes, just give him a moment please."
