Oscar Pistorius, who was charged with manslaughter of Reeva Steenkamp, made a huge noise for quite some time. His case was once a media-favorite. And to date, some are still watching his every move even if he is inside the cell. While he might possibly face murder charges soon, his brother, Carl Pistorius, is making news on his own.
Last year, Carl Pistorius met a car accident where he suffered multiple injuries. He was badly hurt that he had to be in an intensive care unit. He nearly died because of that fatal crash. That was very unfortunate for the older Pistorius. However, he will still have to face reckless driving charges, a source says. No one was killed in the car crash. But the primary reason of the charges was that he never provided a statement with regard to the incident. The authorities were said to have been repeatedly asking for a report. They will have the trial this coming February.
Carl Pistorius is not new to car crash issues. Couple of years ago, he faced homicide charges. It was 2008 when he involved himself in a vehicular accident. Sadly, a lady in a motorcycle died. Fortunately, he was acquitted. But I guess that his story in trial courts will not end and now all eyes are on him for the new charges.
The Pistorius brothers are undeniably close as Carl was always seen in his younger brother's trials. The photos of him were proofs that he genuinely supports his brother. In one of Carl Pistorius' interviews, he said that the sentencing was a weight they all have to carry. He also reacted over Donald Trump's twitter post on the sentencing that was given by the judge to Oscar.
In less than a month, Carl Pistorius will face the court and hopefully this will be the end of mishaps to their family. One Pistorius in jail should be enough.
