Oscar Pistorius gunned his girlfriend down in his home almost a year ago on Valentine’s Day and while his trial is set to start soon in South Africa he is reportedly negotiating a deal with Reeva Steenkamp’s parents that could give them $275,000.

The “Blade Runner” Olympic athlete was charged with her murder after he shot Steenkamp through the bathroom door in his home, although he has claimed he thought there was an intruder in the home while prosecutors assert that the shooting was premeditated.
