PRETORIA, South Africa -- A South African police officer swung a cricket bat at Oscar Pistorius bullet-marked bathroom door during his murder trial on Wednesday, using two key pieces of evidence to re-enact the night he killed his girlfriend. Wholesale NHL Jerseys China . Police Col. J.G. Vermeulen faced tough questioning from Pistorius defence lawyer, who tried to discredit the police investigation of the shooting and alleged that Vermeulen, a forensic expert, made glaring missteps in his analysis. Pistorius lawyers secured bail for him last year after contending that police contaminated or tampered with evidence from the home where he fatally shot Reeva Steenkamp, firing through the bathroom door as she cowered inside during the pre-dawn hours of Valentines Day 2013. Pistorius says the killing was a mistake; the prosecution alleges the 27-year-old double-amputee intentionally shot Steenkamp after an argument. The actual door that Pistorius shot through a year ago was erected in the Pretoria courtroom Wednesday, and the bat he used that night was used in the demonstrations. There was even a toilet cubicle behind the door, recreated to the exact specifications of the small area of Pistorius bathroom where the 29-year-old model was fatally shot, Vermeulen said. Below the doors handle, four bullet holes were clearly visible. Steenkamp was hit three times in the hip, arm and head. One shot missed, the court has heard. Pistorius says he used the bat to break down the door after realizing he shot Steenkamp, mistaking her for an intruder. Kneeling, Vermeulen swung the bat to show how he believed Pistorius struck the door from a low angle, indicating he was on his stumps at the time. Defence lawyer Barry Roux insisted Pistorius was wearing his prosthetic legs, saying the bat marks on the door were low because he swung with a bent back. The back-and-forth over whether Pistorius, the first amputee to run at the Olympics, was on his prosthetic limbs or not is important because it could match parts of his story that he accidentally shot Steenkamp, or expose inconsistencies in it. Last year, prosecutors maintained Pistorius was on his prostheses when he fired through the door, arguing the runner planned the killing while putting on his artificial limbs. But in a reversal, prosecutor Gerrie Nel said in court Wednesday that he did not dispute the defences contention that the runner was on his stumps when he opened fire. The athlete has said he fearfully approached the bathroom on his stumps and shot Steenkamp by mistake, thinking she was an intruder hiding behind the door. According to his account, he then put on his prostheses and tried to kick down the locked door, striking it with a cricket bat in a panicked attempt to reach his girlfriend. Roux turned up the pressure on Vermeulen, saying the police investigator failed to properly look at another mark on the door the defence says was made by Pistorius prosthetic leg as he tried to kick it down, leaving a piece of sock fabric lodged in the wood. The defence lawyer also indicated that police investigators might have left a shoe print on the door, the door itself might have been kept in a policemans office and not in proper evidence storage, and missing fragments from the door werent examined. Vermeulen said the door was kept in a "body bag." In an evidence photo, a faint footmark on one of the door panels could be seen. "It looks like a police shoe print," Vermeulen said. "How did that come about?" Roux asked. Vermeulen said he did not know. Earlier, Vermeulen also said a metal panel on the wall of the main bathroom in Pistorius home had been damaged by being hit with a "hard" object. The panel was new evidence. A photo of the damaged plate was shown. Pistorius faces a possible life sentence if convicted of murder for killing Steenkamp. The judge, who watched the demonstrations Wednesday, will ultimately decide on the verdict. There is no trial by jury in South Africa. Pistorius was born without fibula bones because of a congenital defect, and his legs were amputated when he was 11 months old. He ran on carbon-fiber blades and is a multiple Paralympic medallist . He also competed at the London Olympics but didnt win a medal. Authentic NHL Jerseys Cheap .

Hi Kerry, Love reading your column and loved watching your analysis on the TSN broadcasts!And were now in Round 2! Bruins! Canadiens! We know all about the great games of the past from the players, the broadcasters and the writers.BARUERI, Brazil - Former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida proved he is still one of the worlds best mixed martial artists, needing just 62 seconds to dispose of C.B. Dollaway.The contest served as the headlining bout of Saturdays UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Dollaway event.It was Dollaway (15-6) who came out looking to push the pace, as he pawed a jab and looked to put Machida on the defensive. But The Dragon, a karate master, twitched his hips with fakes as he measured his opponent. When he saw an opening, Machida (22-5) struck with a kick to the body that saw Dollaway double over in pain.Machida seized the moment, rushing forward with punches before Dollaway could recover, and the fight was waved off at the 1:02 mark of the first round.Im very happy with this opportunity, Machida said. C.B. is a very tough fighter. I saw that he felt it and I went in for the finish.In the nights co-feature, Sudbury, Ont., native Mitch Gagnon (12-3) fell short in his bid to score an upset win over former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao (33-2).While Gagnon was a heavy underdog coming into the contest, he proved himself as a worthy adversary, standing toe-to-toe in several exchanges and landing a few heavy punches. But the former champ proved impossible to take to the floor, leaving submission-specialist Gagnon unable to fight in his preferred position. As such, he began to tire, and Baraos offence remained strong.After banking the first two rounds, Barao earned a finish in the third, scoring a takedown of his own and working into position for an arm-triangle choke that forced Gagnon to tap out at the 3:53 mark of the final round.I thought I did some good things and bad things — and I got caught, Gagnon said.Light heavyweight Patrick Cummins (7-1) earned his third-straight UFC win by scoring a clear cut decision victory over Antonio Carlos Junior (5-1).Carlos Juniors vaunted jiu-jitsu skills were on full display, as he tried to attack his opponents leg with a series of first-round submission attempts. But Cummins defended each move with ease and returned fire by scoring punches from top position.Cummins was more dominant as the fight wore on. While Carlos Junior tried to launch a few heavy blows on the feet, Cummins slipped underneath the attacks each time and brought his opponent to the floor, where he grinded out a unanimous decision, 30-27 on all three judges cards.He did everything we expected, and for the most part we were ready for it, Cummins said. Hockey Jerseys China. It was just a matter of following the gameplan. He is a great jiu-jitsu fighter, so I needed to make sure I had the control over his hands and posture.In a battle of lightweight prospects, Dagestani fighter Rashid Magomedov (18-1) earned a record-setting win over previously undefeated Elias Silverio (11-1).The fight was largely a standup affair, as the two traded punches and kicks on the feet. But as time wore on, Magomedovs speed and accuracy began to pay dividends. His counter attacks were powerful and drew blood over Silverios right eye. And just as it looked as through Magomedov would cruise to a decision win, he dropped Silverio with a crushing left hand and continued to punch away on the floor until the bout was waved off with just three seconds left.It was the latest stoppage in a three-round fight in UFC history.Elias is a strong opponent and a great fighter, Magomedov said. It wasnt easy to fight him, but everything happened the way it was supposed to happen.In a welterweight matchup, Brazilian Erick Silva (17-5) rebounded from a devastating May loss to Matt Brown by scoring an impressive first-round stoppage versus Mike Rhodes (6-4).After some early exchanges on the feet, Silva took the fight to the floor and quickly worked in an arm-triangle choke, squeezing the hold until Rhodes went to sleep and referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight. The whole process took 75 seconds.It was exactly the way I expected it to be, Silva said. Me and my team trained exactly this, the fight went the way we planned 100 per cent. I didnt even have the time to make mistakes.In the nights first main-card contest, The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil finalist Daniel Sarafian (10-5) picked up a much needed win over fellow middleweight Antonio dos Santos Jr. (6-2), albeit in bizarre fashion.After the two traded bombs for the entirety of the opening round, dos Santos Jr. threw a left hook in the second and immediately called for time after apparently dislocation his finger on contact. However, as the blow came through legal action, dos Santos Jr. did not have the right to ask for a reprieve, and referee Eduardo Herdy called off the fight, awarding Sarafian a TKO win, 61 seconds into the round.I didnt know I was stopping the fight, dos Santos Jr. said. I felt my finger popping out, put it back and tried to get back in the fight. Then the referee told me I asked the fight to stop and that the fight was over.
