Double-amputee Olympian Oscar Pistorius got emotional in the dock on Monday as more graphic images of the night he killed his girlfriend were shown in court.

Earlier, his defense called pathologist Jan Botha to the stand. The athlete admits shooting Reeva Steenkamp, 29, but maintains it was a case of mistaken identity.
