Pistorius maintains he tried to draw attention away from Taylor by getting out of the car with his firearm. Taylor doesn't remember that. She says he went up to the other car with his gun.
Roux says he'll try be as soft as possible with Taylor. He says it seems every time Taylor talks about Pistorius cheating on her she gets upset. Taylor agrees.
