Yeah, to me, it means that Pistorius is acknowledging wrong-doing and guilt, and offering a justification or mitigating factor.
That goes against his straight "not guilty" plea and "reasonable fear for his life and self-defense" claim.
Roux overshot what he was looking to accomplish with Dr. Vorster, IMO, and Nel pinned him to the wall on it. Now, Roux can't take it back.
That's my take, anyway.
Very curious as to how the psych eval results will affect Judge Masipa's deliberations and possible sentencing.
