(CNN) -- The charge against Oscar Pistorius has been upgraded to premeditated murder after a judge said Tuesday that he could not exclude the possibility of premeditation and planning in the shooting death of the Olympian's girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The prosecution had argued that Pistorius killed Steenkamp, that it was murder and it was premeditated.
