Prosecutor seeks to cast doubt on Pistorius' 'vulnerability'


PRETORIA (Reuters) - A South African prosecutor sought on Monday to cast doubt on the defence's portrayal of Oscar Pistorius as a vulnerable person, a day after a leaked video showed the Paralympic star calmly re-enacting the night he killed his girlfriend.

Pistorius, who had his lower legs amputated as a baby, is accused of murdering his law graduate and model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home in Pretoria on Valentine's Day last year. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
