In unserem Haus sind die Türklinken ca 100-110 cm vom Boden entfernt.
Da könnte man mit Armausstrecken mit der Hand bis auf den Boden reichen, wenn man ungefähr da reingreift, wo das herausgebrochene Stück endet - also ca. 50 cm? vielleicht?

Darren Fresco, in a black suit with shoulder-length, slicked-back light brown hair, seemed confident - some may even say cocky - as he answered defence lawyer Barry Roux's questions.

Mr Roux has a tendency to ask the same question over and over again pressing witnesses on details, which can make them seem unsure, and Mr Fresco was no exception.

For one, he could not explain why his statement had not mentioned Oscar Pistorius asking him to be his fall guy at Tasha's restaurant, or that he had made up a story to the restaurant owners about how the gun had gone off.

Mr Fresco also was not sure when the Paralympian had asked him to take the blame for the incident, just that he had done.

The lack of detail does not necessarily harm Mr Fresco's credibility. It has, however, given Mr Roux enough room to suggest he may be protecting himself and sacrificing Mr Pistorius.

Mr Fresco's testimony has also given us a glimpse into the friends' fast life - guns, sports cars, beautiful women and a seeming disregard for police officers.

A FURIOUS #OscarPistorius allegedly told a policeman, "you can’t just touch another man’s gun" and warned the officer that putting his fingerprints on the weapon would implicate him "if anything happens".

The account of an incident that ended with Pistorius shooting his pistol through the sunroof of a moving car came from close friend Darren Fresco on the seventh day of his murder trial in Pretoria, South Africa. In addition to murder charges Pistorius faces two firearms charges relating to this incident and an occasion where he fired a gun in a restaurant.

The firearms charges have been brought by the prosecution to try and paint Pistorius as a trigger-happy playboy who is quick to reach for his gun when angry as he fights claims that he murdered his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day last year.

Pistorius' defence attempted to discredit the restaurant incident, recreating the table Pistorius was sitting at with Fresco.
