JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Oscar Pistorius will be indicted for premeditated murder on Monday and the double-amputee Olympian will go on trial in early 2014, about a year after shooting dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. In a sombre twist, the world-famous athlete will be served with the murder indictment on the day Steenkamp would have celebrated her 30th birthday. Pistorius will be formally charged for the Valentines Day slaying of the woman he says he loved dearly and killed by mistake, and will face a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years in prison if convicted of premeditated murder. Other charges could be added to the indictment. Prosecutors declined to comment on South African media reports on Friday that charges of recklessly discharging a firearm in public in two separate incidents would also be laid against the runner. If the extra charges -- reportedly relating to Pistorius shooting a gun out a moving car and firing one accidentally at a restaurant -- are added, they may show the prosecutions aim to paint him as trigger-happy at his blockbuster trial next year. The 26-year-old Pistorius denies he committed murder and says he shot Steenkamp through a locked toilet cubicle door in his bathroom in the early hours of Feb. 14 thinking she was a dangerous nighttime intruder. Prosecutors say he intended to kill her. A six-month police investigation ended this week, during which investigators reportedly focused on cellphones found at Pistorius upscale home as well as the toilet door through which he shot. The investigation team "is convinced that the accused has a charge to answer to," the national police commissioners office said. Detectives, forensic experts, ballistics experts, forensic psychologists and technology experts had all worked the case, police said, gathering the evidence for trial and which could send Pistorius to prison until he is older than 50, at least. National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Medupe Simasiku told The Associated Press that the exact date for the trial in early 2014 had not yet been set and would likely be decided on Monday, Pistorius next scheduled appearance at Pretoria Magistrates Court. The trial will be at the capital citys High Court and be before a judge. South Africa has no trial by jury. The indictment papers will be served and the prosecution will retain a main charge of premeditated murder, Simasiku said, while only conceding that other charges are "possible." In a statement, the National Prosecuting Authority said that it would be "inappropriate" to comment about "the charges" before they were presented in court. The language of the statement, using the plural charges, suggested that more could be added. Pistorius legal team also would not comment in detail on the charge or charges but a spokeswoman said his defence lawyers expect to see a copy of the indictment papers before Monday so they can prepare. The lawyers were locked in meetings on Friday, the spokeswoman, Anneliese Burgess, said. Those indictment papers would also include additional information like a witness list and some details of the evidence police have gathered in the half a year since Pistorius fired four bullets from his licensed 9mm gun through the locked toilet door in the pre-dawn hours, hitting Steenkamp in the head, elbow and hip. One bullet missed her and was recovered from the toilet bowl. Pistorius was initially charged with premeditated murder for bail purposes while police investigated the circumstances of the shooting, which has gripped millions and shone a spotlight on Pistorius life. The worlds best-known disabled sportsman once inspired many by overcoming the adversity of losing his lower legs as a baby to win the right to compete against able-bodied athletes and qualifying to run at the biggest sports event of all, the Olympics. Last Monday, photographs were published of Pistorius paddling in a kayak on a beach holiday with friends and standing on the sand, his pale prosthetic legs exposed in shorts in a rare public appearance. This years Paralympic and able-bodied world championships have flashed by without him, with Pistorius yet to run competitively anywhere since the killing and only using the sport that made him a huge star to help his mental state. "Those close to him have encouraged him to spend a few hours a week on the track to assist him in finding the necessary mental and emotional equilibrium to process his trauma and prepare for the trial," Pistorius family said in their last public statement.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Excuse Lamar Stevens and Tony Carr if they dont know all the words to Penn States alma mater yet. They admitted they dont as theyve been busy absorbing basketball knowledge.If they keep playing like they did in Sundays 82-74 win over Duquesne, Penn States freshmen, tasked with singing along after every win, will likely learn the song in no time.Stevens scored 24 points, Carr added 20 and fellow freshman Mike Watkins netted 15 for the Nittany Lions who pulled away from the Dukes at the Bryce Jordan Center.For Shep (Garner) only to score six, and us still win? That bodes well for our team and our future, Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said.Although Penn States top scorer was held without a basket for the first 27 minutes, the Nittany Lions (1-1) made up for the lack of scoring by turning the Dukes mistakes against them.The Nittany Lions scored 12 first-half points off 13 turnovers and led 33-29 at halftime.Duquesne coach Jim Ferry was pleased that his team held Garner mostly in check. He made just 2 of 7 field goals, both 3-pointers, and added five assists.Tonight we were forcing other guys to beat us and they did, Ferry said.The teams swapped the lead six times in the second half before Penn State (1-1) went ahead for good on a Julian Moore slam dunk that made it 54-53 with 10:57 left.The Nittany Lions made 48 percent of their field goals, hit 6 of 7 from long range in the second half and closed out the game with a 28-21 run.Carr led the team with seven rebounds.STEVENS AT THE LINEWith Duquesne not giving up many wide open looks, Penn States offense had to move pieces around to create points.Stevens did plenty of the moving. He showed off his patience waiting for lanes to open up and drove through them and to the basket where his teammates found him or the Dukes fouled him.Half of his points came at the free throw line where he made 12 of 13.BIG GAME BIG MANWatkins ddisplayed flashes of dominance in the paint for a second-straight game.dddddddddddd He picked up five more blocks to push his 2-game total to 10 and snagged six rebounds.Mikes bringing a lot of juice, Chambers said. Hes so raw. I dont even know if he knows how good he is.Technically a redshirt freshman after he was ruled academically ineligible by the NCAA last season, Watkins led Penn States bigs with 27 minutes, a number Chambers wants to cut down on.INJURY UPDATESChambers said sophomore guard Josh Reaves could miss another week at least as he continues to deal with a lower leg injury suffered late in preseason practice. Reaves was originally expected to miss the first three games.Penn State also appeared to lose forward Davis Zemgulis midway through the game with what Chambers said he thinks is a concussion. Chambers said Zemgulis had not been diagnosed with a concussion but suspects hell be out for the immediate future.THE BIG PICTUREDuquesne: With just two starters back and having lost more than 71 percent of their scoring from last seasons 17-17 squad, the Dukes remain a work in progress.Theyll have plenty of opportunities to find chemistry as they continue the busiest opening month in school history. Duquesne will play six games in the next 15 days to cap an 8-game November.Penn State: Pat Chambers objective with an equally young team is to play hard and fast and worry about cleaning up mistakes later. They had plenty to correct after a error-filled opening half led to a loss against Albany on Friday.More importantly, Penn State needed to address those concerns in a bounce-back that gave Chambers a chance to reinforce his message with a positive tone.UP NEXTDuquesne hosts St. Francis (Pa.) (0-1) on Wednesday.Grand Canyon (0-1) visits Penn State on Tuesday. ' ' '
