PRETORIA, South Africa - South African police photographs
of the blood-spattered scene where Oscar Pistorius shot
dead his girlfriend show that evidence was moved around
in violation of procedure during the investigation of the
killing, the athletes chief defence lawyer said Tuesday.
In later testimony, a police ballistics expert police
described how he tried to reconstruct the angle of the
gunfire, citing tests that suggest the bullets were fired
about 2.2 metres (7.2 feet) from a toilet door in
Pistorius home. The bullets punctured the door, and three
of them hit girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, who was in the
toilet cubicle. Warrant officer Bennie van Staden, a
police photographer, took hundreds of photos of the
scene, including of blood stains, bullet casings, a gun
and a cricket bat found inside Pistorius bathroom in the
hours after the double-amputee Olympic runner shot
Steenkamp before dawn on Feb. 14 last year. Lawyer Barry
Roux has challenged previous police witnesses, seeking to
uncover contradictions and reported mishaps to support
his argument that officers bungled the investigation, an
allegation made by Pistorius at the start of the trial
when he pleaded not guilty to murder in Steenkamps
killing. In a painstaking process Tuesday, Roux minutely
examined many photos taken by van Staden and another
police officer and pointed out that objects at the crime
scene had been moved and were in different positions in
photos. Roux also used time of day records on the images
to show that the two policemen taking photographs were in
the same room at points, even though van Staden testified
he was working alone. Pistorius, 27, is charged with
premeditated murder for killing Steenkamp, 29. He denies
murder and says he shot his girlfriend accidentally,
thinking she was an intruder in a toilet cubicle in the
bathroom, and says that he struck the toilet door with a
cricket bat to get to Steenkamp after realizing what he
had done. Prosecutors charge that Pistorius killed
Steenkamp after an argument. Pistorius lawyer asked van
Staden to explain differences in photographs of position
of the 9 mm pistol that Pistorius used to shoot Steenkamp
through a closed toilet door, and of a cricket bat that
the Paralympian used to hit the door. "It seems there was
movement of the bat" in the interval between two
photographs taken by van Staden, Roux said. "It seems
like that," van Staden conceded. The police photographer
also acknowledged that two photographs of the gun
indicated that a mat underneath it could have been
shifted. Roux said one photo also differed from the other
because it showed a wooden splinter on the gun handle.
Capt. Christiaan Mangena, the police ballistics expert,
said the bullets were fired at a slightly downward angle
and entered the toilet door below the shoulder level of
Pistorius, if he were standing without prosthetic limbs.
Pistorius said he was on his stumps when he fired.
Prosecutors do not dispute the assertion, after initially
alleging he was on his prosthetic limbs when he killed
Steenkamp. Mangena said he used thin rods and the beam
from a laser mounted on a tripod to try to determine the
trajectory of the bullets through the door. He also
described entry and exit wounds on Steenkamps right arm
and her head, and bruises on her chest where a
"projectile" struck without penetrating. Associated Press
writer Torchia reported from Johannesburg.

on Sept. COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- Dom Dovale scored in
stoppage time to help Sporting Kansas City rally for a 3-
2 win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday. Dovale was a
late-game substitution for Sporting Kansas City (2-1-1).
Benny Feilhaber tied the game in the 79th minute. "This
team does not quit -- no matter the circumstances,"
Dovale said. "We went about our business after they
scored on the penalty kick that put them ahead." Dovale
used a couple strides to get close to the goal on the
left side and then ripped a shot over the outstretched
hands of Colorado goalkeeper John Berner and into the
upper left corner. "It was a blazer," Sporting Kansas
City coach Peter Vermes said. "Their goalie didnt have a
chance." Graham Zusi scored and Sal Zizzo added two
assists for the defending MLS Cup champions. Vincente
Sanchez had two goals for Colorado (1-1-1), both on
penalty kicks.dddddddddddd "Well go through what happened
because it was like we shut off and they took advantage
as good teams do to you," Rapids defender Marvell Wynne
said. "Thats not going to become a return thing for us. I
dont think we are going to be scored upon three or more
times throughout the year." Zusi and Zizzo set up
Feilhabers goal with pinpoint passes. Sanchez had barely
scored his second goal in the 78th minute when Zusi was
flying through midfield. He passed to Zizzo, who sent a
header to Feilhaber. He then got the ball past Berrner on
his second try. Zusi put Sporting in front in the 50th
minute, but Sanchez scored his third goal in the 60th
minute. Sporting Kansas City defender Ike Opara injured
his right leg in the second half and was helped off the
field.
