LIVE VIDEO: Oscar Pistorius Verdict

For those (eg. in Germany) who can’t see the stream above, here are some tweets from Suzanne Brenner (@prowriting):

• Judge Masipa has found #Oscar was an unreliable witness who lost composure under cross-examination
• Judge wonders why deceased didn’t communicate with #Oscar according to accused
• Judge says one can’t conclude a certainty that an accused who doesn’t tell the truth is guilty – onus on state to prove guilt
• Murder charge circumstantial. #Oscar says it was mistake. Prosecution hasn’t proved beyond reasonable doubt it was premeditated
• Court resumes. Ahead of dealing with #Oscar’s intention, Judge refers to other precedents of intended or mistaken murder
• Killing someone in error is not an excuse. The judge says it is not lawfulness that’s an issue but culpability
• The accused has not admitted he had the intention to shoot and kill the deceased but the court is entitled 2 look at case as a whole
• We can’t hear him but #Oscar’s sobbing as he listens to the judge say killing someone in error doesn’t mean an accused is innocent
• Expert in @OscarTrial199 studio says culpable homicide is killing without intention. Silence in court as the judge’s words sink in
• Court is on lunch break
• Studio experts seem taken aback by findings thus far. One of the guests – a judge – says conclusions thus far most controversial
• Prosecutor #GerrieNel must be taking strain while counsel for defence #BarryRoux is surely resting a little easier this lunchtime
• I hope the public saves its wrath for inconclusive evidence &  “absence of facts” @OscarTrial199. The judge is not the offender
• Will #Oscar know his fate today? After months of guessing which way it’d go, the judge has already ruled out worst
• Studio expert @OscarTrial199: “99% of character evidence has been excluded, #Oscar’s absolved of murder – will he be acquitted?”
• While court of public opinion found him guilty long ago, if #Oscar walks free his life will never be the same
• Judge found #Oscar changed his version of events several times yet she ruled his story was “reasonably, possibly true”
• The judge is back in court, the trial is in session
• Judge refers 2 test of the reasonable man re: negligence i.e. culpable homicide
• Judge dismisses #Oscar’s vulnerability. Says many grow up in crime-ridden SA & acted negligently. Court closed till morning!
• Suddenly court is adjourned until 9:30 tomorrow. Talk of being left up in the air… it’s been day of surprises for all concerned
• Suzanne Brenner (@prowriting) will be tweeting again tomorrow: www.twitter.com/sapeople
