The prosecutor at the Oscar Pistorius murder trial has suggested the South African athlete is using his emotions as an escape. He broke down in tears four times on Monday and has also vomited in court. Now you trying to be emotional and its not working, said prosecutor Gerrie Nel. Mr Pistorius admits killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February last year, but says he fired his gun after mistaking her for an intruder. Mr Nel said the Olympic sprinter, 27, had deliberately shot Ms Steenkamp, a model, after the couple had had an argument. As the prosecutor resumed his cross-examination on Monday, he accused Mr Pistorius of tailoring his evidence as he went along to suit the defence case, which had been concocted. Your version of events is untrue, Mr Nel said.
