Olympic Crime: Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer (2017)

Jenn and Joe wrap up Olympic Crime month with a look at Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer. On the night of Feb 13, 2013, the Olympic athlete shot and killed his model/lawyer girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, mistaking her for an intruder. The 2017 Lifetime film charts the couple's brief, but turbulent relationship, though we found the screenplay's disinterest in exploring the race, class, or celebrity aspects of the case frustrating.
