\"You can't just touch another man's gun,\" Pistorius told the officer, Fresco testified.
The court heard that Pistorius screamed at the policeman, “Your fingerprints are now all over my gun, so if something happens, you will be held liable.\"
After driving away from the traffic stop, Pistorius fired the gun through the car's sunroof.
\"Without prior warning, he shot out of the sunroof. I flinched ... It was right next to my ear. I asked him, 'Are you f****** mad?’ He just laughed,\" Fresco testified.
Taylor testified about this same incident when she took the stand last week. But in contrast to her evidence, in which she said that Pistorius and Fresco talked about shooting out a traffic light, Fresco said the shot took him completely by surprise.
#OscarTrial #Fresco he said nothing to me. We were all in shock. He then asked me to please take the blame.

While these discrepancies might seem insignificant, the defense has already latched on to them to try and paint Fresco as an unreliable witness.
Fresco also told the court that Pistorius once asked him to take the blame when Pistorius dropped a gun that Fresco has passed to him under a table in a restaurant. The gun discharged when it was dropped.
Earlier, pathologist Dr. Gert Saayman estimated the food found in Steenkamp’s stomach during the autopsy was eaten two hours before her death. The doctor’s testimony conflicted with the account Pistorius gave in his bail application of the night he shot Steenkamp.
Pistorius had said he was in bed at 10 p.m. while Steenkamp did yoga in his bedroom. In his version of events, he also states that, “After Reeva finished her yoga exercises she got into bed and we both fell asleep.”
Other testimony by neighbors has described hearing an argument in the hours before Steenkamp was shot.
