PRETORIA, South Africa -- The chief lawyer for Oscar Pistorius on Tuesday sought to show at the athletes murder trial that he had a loving relationship with the girlfriend he killed, referring to telephone messages in which they exchanged warm compliments and said they missed each other. Eric Gordon Jersey . The testimony contrasted with several messages read out in court at the request of the prosecution a day earlier in which Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp argued in the weeks before he fatally shot her. In those messages, Steenkamp told the double-amputee runner that she was sometimes scared by his behaviour, which included jealous outbursts in front of other people. Defence lawyer Barry Roux noted that the tense messages amounted to a tiny fraction of the roughly 1,700 messages that police Capt. Francois Moller, a cellular telephone expert, extracted from the mobile devices of the couple. Roux noted a Jan. 19 exchange in which Reeva sent Pistorius a photo of herself in a hoodie and making a kissing face, followed by the message: "You like it?" "I love it," Pistorius said, according to the message. "So warm," Steenkamp responded. Roux was also granted permission to show CCTV video, earlier broadcast by Sky News, that showed Pistorius and Steenkamp kissing in a convenience store. And he asked Moller to read out a Jan. 9 message from the model to her athlete boyfriend. It read: "You are a very special person. You deserve to be looked after." Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel questioned the relevance of showing the convenience store video, saying he could ask for a courtroom viewing of another video, also broadcast by Sky News, that shows Pistorius at a gun range, firing a shotgun and using a pistol to shoot a watermelon, which bursts on impact. Nel also said that many messages of affection between the couple were brief, in contrast to the texted arguments, which were far longer and dwelled on their relationship in greater depth. Earlier, Moller said Steenkamp connected to the Internet on her cellular telephone hours before Oscar Pistorius killed her. She made the connection just before 9 p.m. on Feb. 13, 2013, and the connection lasted for more than 11 hours, possibly because social media programs were still open. Pistorius fatally shot her shortly after 3 a.m. through a closed toilet door in his home. "If an application is not closed, it will carry on running," Moller said. Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp in his home the early hours of Valentines Day, and Mollers extraction of data also shed light on what appeared to be a frantic series of phone calls made from one of Pistorius cellular telephones after the killing. They include a call to the administrator of the housing estate where Pistorius lived at 3:19 a.m. on Feb. 14, a call a minute later to an ambulance service and a call a minute after that to the housing estate security. The phone that was used for those and other calls was only handed over to police 11 days later, Moller said. Police analysis also showed that a five-minute Internet connection was made on Pistorius telephone from 1:48 a.m. on Feb. 14, a little over an hour before he killed Steenkamp. Moller did not specify whether the connection was manual or automatic. Moller said he received as evidence two BlackBerry phones, two iPhones, two iPads and a Mac computer from Pistorius house the day after Steenkamp was shot to death. Prosecutors allege Pistorius killed Steenkamp after an argument. Pistorius says he killed her by accident, mistaking her for an intruder in his house.

Nine-year veteran Danny Granger did not make his debut with the Clippers because of a technicality on the teams active list, which is signed by coach Doc Rivers before every game and relayed to the officials. Grangers name was printed by hand by a member of the public relations staff under the heading: "Updated Roster Additions," but the number on the sheet was not circled along with the other active players by the required deadline of 6:30 p. NEW YORK -- The New York Islanders rode the train from Long Island to Brooklyn -- a trek they hope many of their fans will take once the club moves there in two years. Training camp opened for the Islanders on Thursday at Barclays Center, which will become the teams new home for the 2015-16 NHL season. The Nassau Coliseum will be a distant memory for the Islanders as they leave the aging building for the first time since they entered the league in 1972. "One word for it: beautiful," team owner Charles Wang said. "When you look at what is going on here, its unbelievable. I am very happy as you can see from the smile." He stopped short of comparing this day to other big ones in his life. "Im ecstatic today. Is it happier than the day I got married?" Wang asked, before an answer was drowned out by laughter. "You enjoy that moment. I have a big smile on my face." One by one, the players left the Long Island Railroad train that carried them from Garden City, N.Y., to Brooklyn on Thursday morning. They were decked out in their jerseys and received a warm welcome as they approached the sparkling new arena. Reporters, television crews and photographers were there to greet them on a near 90-degree day that was more suitable for baseball than hockey. "It was good to get camp open," newly named captain John Tavares said. "Its been a little different with the train ride and getting here and getting on the ice real quick." The ice wasnt quite up to pro standards yet, but Tavares said that will improve in time. "It would be really tough to play a game on something like that," he said. "I would say it still needs a few more layers and it needs time to really get set." Wang beamed as he spoke of his excitement regarding the clubs move to Brooklyn. He tried long and hard to get a new arena built on Long Island as part of his expansive Lighthouse Project, but that never came to fruition. While the scheduled arrival date is 2015, it isnt completely out of the question that the Islanders could move up their transfer if adjustments can be made to their lease and if necessary work at the arena can be ccompleted earlier. Hakeem Olajuwon Jersey. "Our plan is to live to the commitment of the lease," Wang said. "Weve always wanted to get here as soon as possible, but we are living to our lease. Well honour that lease." Wang said he was particularly impressed to see his team skate on the ice and the bright blue and orange club logo adorning centre ice. The Islanders will get only a brief look at their new digs. Thursday was the only scheduled practice day in Brooklyn, and the Islanders will host the New Jersey Devils in a preseason game Sept. 21. Much work will be needed to be done before the Islanders are a permanent tenant. While the NBAs Brooklyn Nets have already resettled at Barclays, a dressing room will have to be built for their hockey brethren. "It definitely feels really new," Tavares said. "Were going to have to take some time. It will be an adjustment once we do get here to make it feel comfortable." Officials said about 10,000 tickets have been sold for the preseason game. The building will hold 15,813 for hockey -- slightly fewer than the Nassau Coliseum. There are also 400 additional seats, not included in the total, that have obstructed views. But Barclays is a state-of-the-art facility with top amenities and sightlines that provide a unique feel. "It will still almost feel like a neutral site because the Coliseum is still for all our home games for a couple of more years," Tavares said. "That is where everything is kind of situated right now. We dont have a locker room here or anything set up, but it will nice to play, for sure. "We are really looking forward to the game." New Yorks four Stanley Cup championship banners are already hanging in the arena, and will remain there through the preseason game. How soon the Islanders, who advanced to the Eastern Conference playoffs last season but lost to Pittsburgh in the first round, might be able to add titles to the four straight they won from 1980-83 remains to be seen. "The certainty of knowing where were going to be is a positive going forward," general manager Garth Snow said. "Its going to be spectacular." ' ' '  |
