first people I think of. The first people I pray for. I can’t imagine
the pain and the sorrow and the emptiness that I’ve caused you and your
family.
"I was simply trying to protect Reeva. I
can promise you that when she went to bed that night she felt loved. I
have tried to put my words on paper many times to write to you but no
words would ever suffice.' Continue..
He also told the court his struggles since the incident, saying he wakes up every morning 'smelling blood..a
nd terrified". He claimed he suffers from panic attacks and takes anti-depressant medicine.
'I'm
scared to sleep. I can smell blood and wake up terrified. I climbed
into a cupboard and I phoned my sister to come and sit by me, which she
did for a while. I'm just in a complete state of terror. I fall asleep
and wake up like that.' He said
