JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A South African bakery apologized Tuesday for producing a line of cookies with bad taste messages relating to the upcoming trial of Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympian charged with murder in his girlfriend’s shooting death.

Charly’s Bakery did that on Twitter after South African media said the bakery posted photos of cookies decorated with images of Pistorius and messages such as “And the Oscar goes to … jail,” and one of a toilet door and a sign reading “Caution using toilet please don’t shoot!”
