Why does the Pistorius family bow heads in prayer before the trial, in public view?

They could have done that discreetly, as God does not need public displays! He knows what we all need – not want.

Is it not just another method being used to soften the minds of people who realise that Oscar is a spoilt brat, used to getting his own way or else throwing tantrums and threatening people?

It would seem that his temper and his lack of taking responsibility for his actions, has gotten the better of him this time.

Pity someone like Reeva had to die for the world to see that!

I lived with someone like this and recognise the traits. So I got rid of him and he remained angry with me for many years thereafter, wishing me harm and a miserable life.
