The \u2018film\u2019 is not true reflection of what happened on the day of this tragedy and the subsequent trial of the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Double-legged amputee Pistorius was originally sentenced to five years after being found guilty of culpable homicide, but it was extended to six years when he was found guilty of murder on appeal by the prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>However, Carl says the movie\u2019s title is in itself misleading, claiming that a month-long psychological evaluation by \u201cleading minds in the field,\u201d found no evidence that his brother has \u201cthe mind of a killer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe \u2018film\u2019 is a gross misrepresentation of the truth. The \u2018film\u2019 is rather a representation of what the prosecution tried to portray,\u201d Carl continues, confirming that legal action is the next step.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer for the TV movie shows the athlete shooting Reeva Steenkamp in dramatic scenes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProve to me this is what you want, that you are worthy of me and this relationship,\u201d he says as they argue and he grabs a cricket bat.<\/p>\n<p>The film stars Andreas Damm as Pistorius and Toni Garrn as Steenkamp, and will premiere in the US on 11 November.<\/p>\n<p>The gold medalist shot Steenkamp dead at his Pretoria villa in February 2013, claiming he mistook her for an intruder.<\/p>\n<p>Reeva was facing the closed bathroom door when she was hit in the hip by the first bullet.<\/p>\n<p>She then fell back onto a magazine rack as a second bullet hit her right arm.<\/p>\n<p>The final two shots from a 9mm pistol hit her in the head and she died in Pistorius\u2019 arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: The mirror<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bsac bsac-clearfix bsac-post-bottom bsac-float-center bsac-align-center bsac-column-1\">\n<div id=\"bsac-268370-1056046611\" class=\"bsac-container bsac-type-image \" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WPAdBlock\" data-adid=\"268370\" data-type=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bsac-image\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/starrwoman_posts.jpg\" alt=\"Starr Woman \u2013 Inside Posts\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The family of Oscar Pistorius has confirmed they will be taking legal action against makers of a new Lifetime movie about the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp .
