The prosecution in Oscar Pistorius’s trial for killing his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp challenged the qualifications of the defense’s expert witness who testified about the crime scene.
Roger Dixon, a former police investigator, isn’t trained in blood spatter or sound and never physically touched evidence he gave an opinion on, prosecutor Gerrie Nel said in the High Court in Pretoria, South Africa’s capital, today. Dixon, a university professor of geology, also doesn’t belong to a forensic investigative group, Nel said.
