It turns out that Oscar isn't the only Pistorius facing homicide charges. The Olympic sprinter’s older brother is himself charged with culpable homicide in a deadly highway collision.
Carl Pistorius denies being under the influence of alcohol in a road collision that caused the death of a female motorcyclist in 2008. The Pistorius family has said that a blood test cleared Carl in the wreck. But for whatever reason the charges were reinstated 5 years later and he was in court last Thursday.
Prior to that, Carl was a constant presence in the courtroom where Oscar Pistorius was having a bail hearing in the shooting death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Oscar Pistorius claims the shooting was an accident and the prosecution calls it premeditated murder.
