Experts say Pistorius not mentally ill

A psychiatric panel and a psychologist have found that Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, who is facing charges of murdering his girlfriend, is not mentally ill, the state prosecutor says.

"Mr Pistorius did not suffer from a mental illness or defect that would have rendered him criminally not responsible for the offence charged," said state prosecutor Gerrie Nel on Monday, reading from the psychologist report. It was one of two reports that said the star runner should be held criminally responsible.
