Oscar Pistorius arrived at court Tuesday as the judge in his case issued a partial reversal from Monday.<br/> <br />After imposing a blackout on testimony from the doctor who did the autopsy on the track star's girlfriend, citing respect for her family, the judge decided to release a pre-recorded package of the pathologist's testimony to broadcast media.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) JUDGE THOKOZILE MASIPA SAYING:<br/> <br />"I will allow the package as suggested by Mr. Ferreira. He will show it to the defense and the State and then we can take it from there."<br/> <br />As Pathologist Gert Saayman described Reeva Steenkamp's fatal wounds on Monday, the 27-year-old Paralympic and Olympic athlete broke down, sobbing and vomiting into a bucket.<br/> <br />The defense team argued against an adjournment, saying a break would not improve Pistorious' state of mind.<br/> <br />The track star admits he shot Steenkamp but claims he thought she was an intruder.<br/> <br />If found guilty of murder, he faces at least 25 years behind bars
