"It filled me with horror and fear," Pistorius said. The 26-year-old Olympian said he put on his prosthetic legs and tried to kick down the door before finally giving up and bashing it in with a cricket bat.

Quote
In a major point of contention that has already emerged, prosecutor Gerrie Nel said Pistorius took the time to put on his prostheses, walked 7 meters from the bed to the enclosed toilet inside his bathroom and only then opened fire.

Can someone translate this please?

Well a cricket bat is either a really really tiny bat suitable for use by a cricket, or it's one of these:  (https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F196.35.74.238%2FSPORTS%2FSABC%2520SPORT%2FStatic%2520Files%2FCricket%2520bat.jpg&hash=343beaf15c6d9b569295650b92bd1651e597d396)

The prosecutor was being a huge douche.  Normally a big no-no, but I'm not sure how that plays in South African courts.  Seems weird that there's just a judge and no jury in their courts.  Pistorius had to keep saying "My Lady" in every sentence (female judge).

Only unusual to us. Trial by jury is fairly rare in other countries. Several have abolished it and a lot use a combination of trial by jury and bench trial for serious crimes.

Saying "My Lady" is just a variant of "Your Honor."
