Pistorius: friend testifies, trial adjourned until Thursday Oscar Pistorius's defence team asked for the trial to be adjourned on Wednesday after the state called the paralympian star's friend Kevin Lerena to testify about one of three other charges against Pistorius. Three days into the athlete's trial for his lover's premeditated killing, the South African court heard that Pistorius had fired a gun in an upmarket restaurant, grazing his boxer friend's foot, then asked another to take the blame.
