JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- South African prosecutors pressing a murder charge against Oscar Pistorius secured a meeting Thursday with Apple officials in the United States over accessing potentially crucial evidence on the double-amputee athletes locked iPhone, they said. Pistorius claimed he forgot the password for the cellphone, one of a number found at his upscale villa after he shot dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp Feb. 14, 2013. Investigators have been seeking help from Apple through the F.B.I. since last year to get access to the phone, a spokesman for South Africas National Prosecuting Authority said. Investigators from South Africa would now meet with Apple officials Thursday at the tech giants headquarters in California, spokesman Nathi Mncube said. Pistorius trial starts Monday, giving both prosecutors and Pistorius defence team just four days to analyze any information on the iPhone. Prosecutors would be obliged to also give any evidence they find to Pistorius lawyers. "It can only add on the evidence we already have," Mncube said in an interview with TV station eNCA. "It cannot be prejudicial to our case. The people concerned, should the evidence be favourable to us, are the defence. Then we have a responsibility to make it available to them as soon as we have it so they can also prepare for the trial." Mncube also confirmed the meeting and the reason behind it separately to The Associated Press after his telephone interview with eNCA. The prosecution maintains that Pistorius had a fight with Steenkamp before killing her, a cornerstone of its case, and information on the Olympians phone may shed light on events before the pre-dawn shooting last Valentines Day. Pistorius says he shot the model and reality TV star after mistaking her for a dangerous intruder. South African prosecutors hope to have the information from the phone by late Thursday, Mncube said, adding that they would make any evidence from the phone available to Pistorius defence lawyers. He wouldnt comment on what prosecutors might be looking for on the phone. But even without access to Pistorius iPhone, Mncube said the state had enough evidence to support the premeditated murder charge. Court documents indicate prosecutors are expected to build much of their case against the world-famous runner on witnesses who the state claims will testify to hearing a woman in Pistorius house screaming before the sound of gunshots. That suggests a fight and contradicts Pistorius version of events. Prosecutors also will likely try to use the trajectory of the bullets from the four shots fired by Pistorius through a toilet door to show he intended to kill Steenkamp and was not fearful and acting in self-defence. "We are very confident that we have sufficient evidence," prosecution spokesman Mncube said. "And that the evidence we have already will be more than sufficient to secure us hopefully a conviction in this matter." Prosecutors are seeking a life sentence for Pistorius should he be convicted of murder in Steenkamps killing, meaning he would have to serve at least 25 years in prison before being eligible for parole. There is no death penalty in South Africa.

The teams general manager took the unusual step of issuing a qualified apology, barely two weeks into the reign of new coach Randy Cunneyworth. The Dec. 17 hiring of Cunneyworth, on an interim basis for the rest of the season, touched off a language controversy. He is the teams first coach in decades unable to speak French. "Im sorry if we upset people. Because that certainly wasnt our intention," Pierre Gauthier told reporters Monday. It was a far cry from the defiant response Gauthier offered last month, when a reporter asked about Cunneyworths inability to communicate with francophone fans in their language. At the time, his testy reply was that languages could always be learned. On Monday, he stressed that Cunneyworths hiring was not necessarily permanent and he said his status would be re-examined after the season. "What will haappen in the future, at the end of the season, is that we will re-evaluate the whole file," Gauthier said.dddddddddddd "As (owner Geoff) Molson said in his communique a week ago, its very important to us that our head coach be bilingual. "So that will be part of our decision at that point." The Cunneyworth hiring touched off a language flap given that the Habs, for their entire century-long history, have always marketed themselves as French Canadas team. Its been 40 years since the team last hired a coach who couldnt speak French. That controversy has merely been fuelled by the teams poor play; under Cunneyworth, the Habs have won only one of seven games. Gauthier addressed the controversy during his mid-season news conference Monday. Just before his appearance, two of the teams top players -- centreman Tomas Plekanec and defenseman P.K. Subban -- got into a fist-fight during practice. cheap jerseys? cheap jerseys?cheap nfl jerseys?Ray Ban Outlet Michael Kors Outlet Michael Kors Sale Cheap Michael Kors ' ' '
