Is it ok to bet on a murder trial?
The Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has faced criticism for offering odds on the outcome of the Oscar Pistorius trial.
An online petition criticising the promotion has been signed by 100,000 people.
The petition claims that making money from the trial is "vile" and "offensive".
In a statement Paddy Power told #BBCtrending that it was not their intention to offend.
