This episode revisits the killing of Reeva Steenkamp, tracing Oscar Pistorius’s rapid ascent, the events of that Valentine’s Day in Pretoria, and the trial that gripped South Africa. We explore the legal twists, the cultural context around crime and fear, and the lingering question of who Reeva was beyond the headlines and courtroom arguments.
