Oscar Pistorius: Superhero 'Blade Runner' to Calculated Murderer

Oscar Pistorius: Superhero 'Blade Runner' to Calculated Murderer

Oscar Pistorius became famous for not allowing a handicap to stand in his way of track and field success.

After becoming a Paralympic Champion, he fought his way through the courts to be allowed to compete in non-disabled competitions. In 2012, he competed in the Summer Olympics in London and became one of the most famous people in the world, earning the nickname "Blade Runner" for the prosthetic legs he uses to run.

Less than six months after the Olympic Games, Pistorius claims he hears a noise in the middle of the night and thinks someone is breaking in, but what happens next lands him in jail, charged with murder!
