                    • Crime in Athletics: Oscar Pistorius

                      We are starting a brand new monthly series called Crime in Athletics. We are kicking this series off with a story about a South African Athlete, Oscar Pistorius. Oscar was born without fibulas. When he was 11 months old, his parents decided to have both of his legs amputated below the knees. He went on to be a great athlete in the Paralympics and eventually was the first amputee to compete in track events in the 2012 Olympics. His world changed the night of February 14, 2013, when his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp was killed. Check out this episode to hear the full story and determine what you think happened on that fateful evening.
