CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- A pathologist will likely testify first when Oscar Pistorius defence team starts calling witnesses at his murder trial next week, the double-amputee athletes lawyer said Tuesday. Brian Webber told The Associated Press in an email that "it is likely" that the defence will call Prof. Jan Botha as its first witness on Monday, after four weeks of prosecution-led testimony and a weeks adjournment. Pistorius is expected to testify to explain why he killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentines Day last year by shooting her multiple times through a toilet door. The Olympic runner says he shot Steenkamp by mistake thinking she was a dangerous intruder who had broken into his bathroom. Prosecutors say the 27-year-old Pistorius killed the 29-year-old model intentionally after an argument in the pre-dawn hours and have charged him with premeditated murder. In South Africa, defendants who indicate they will testify are usually expected to go first but Webber said it was his understanding that prosecutors had agreed to the defences request that Botha give evidence first because of the pathologists personal circumstances. "It is likely that we will call Professor Jan Botha on Monday as he has personal difficulties and I believe that the state has agreed to him giving evidence first," Webber wrote to the AP. Pistorius could go to prison for 25 years to life if convicted of premeditated murder for Steenkamps shooting death. Pistorius testimony will likely be crucial, with the athlete under intense scrutiny to explain why he shot four times through a toilet cubicle door without knowing, in his version, who was on the other side and the location of his girlfriend. Although some legal experts say Pistorius taking the stand is a risk for his defence, they say he has little choice because he has admitted killing Steenkamp unlawfully and therefore needs to explain his reasons. "The only question is whether there was intent and intent is subjective," former state prosecutor and now defence lawyer Marius du Toit said. "That means the accused must come and dispel that." Du Toit, who is following the trial but not involved in it, said Pistorius testimony was "definitely the key." The defence may use the expert forensic testimony of Botha, the pathologist, to combat the prosecutions claim that Steenkamp screamed during the gunshots that killed her and so Pistorius must have known who he was firing at with his 9 mm pistol. Defence lawyer Webber also said that although lawyers for Pistorius and Steenkamps family are still in negotiations over a possible out-of-court settlement for her death, nothing would be decided until after the trial. Representatives of the parties have been in contact since last year. Both sides have declined to give details of any discussions but South African media has speculated that Pistorius might pay Steenkamps family in the region of $200,000 to $300,000.

Rooneys 48-year-old father, who is also named Wayne, and 54-year-old uncle Richie Rooney were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud along with seven other men. All nine men were released later in the afternoon on police bail until January pending further inquiries. "Mr. Rooney vigorously denies all of these allegations," Rooneys solicitor, Anthony Barnfather, said in a statement. "We are co-operating fully with the investigation. No further comment will be made at this time." The younger Wayne Rooney has not been implicated in the investigation, which focuses on Motherwells home match against Hearts at Fir Park on Dec. 14. Motherwell lost 2-1. As his father was arrested, Rooney was heading to Montenegro for a European Championship qualifying match on Friday. "I spoke to (Rooney) and I found him relaxed and calm," England coach Fabio Capello said. "No problems for the game tomorrow against Montenegro." England captain John Terry said Rooney had his mind on the match, with the team needing at least draw to guarantee a spot at Euro 2012. "Waynes focused on the game tomorrow. We all realize the importance of that," Terry said. "As Ive said before, its important for him to go out and play his football, which he loves doing. "Tomorrows ggame is the most important thing and we all realize that and appreciate how difficult the game is going to be.dddddddddddd" One of those detained was Motherwell midfielder Steve Jennings, who played in the match and was given a straight red card with eight minutes remaining for disputing a penalty decision. Jennings had earlier been booked. The betting investigation centres around a player receiving a red card in the match. "Detectives have today executed warrants at 10 addresses across Merseyside and Glasgow and arrested nine men as part of an investigation into suspicious betting activity," Merseyside police said in a statement. "The arrests are the culmination of a joint operation with the Gambling Commission." It has been reported that several bets were placed on there being a red card in the match, including a bet of 500 pounds ($765) placed through a new account opened in Liverpool at odds of 10-1. The 26-year-old Jennings joined Motherwell in 2009 from Tranmere, a team based in Liverpool. Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan said the arrests were the result of "extensive enquiries" into suspicious betting patterns. He also said the SFA is working with the police and the Gambling Commission. "I am confident that Scottish football is doing everything it can to take any betting irregularities out of the game," Regan said. "There is no evidence to suggest that any other match has been involved." cheap nfl jerseys? cheap jerseys?cheap jerseys?cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
