there is still much to come...I refuse to feel deflated 

she has to be thorough as we know OP has been selling property to mount an appeal before this verdict is even in 

#keepthefaith 

coffee *runs*

apparently there will be a a week probably when she sentences him 

yes 

SA judicial system knows how to drag things out.

That said, there is usually a gap between verdict and sentencing in murder trials over here too.

#OscarTrial Steenkamp camp is in a huddle in the courtroom with Barry speaking forcefully and June gesticulating.

We're on a quick break and there's fevered discussion here in court about what Masipa's saying. General consensus that the defence are up.

eh?  up in the points stakes?

I feel so sorry for them 

think so  but I think she's going through the premed of Reeva, she still has the options on premed intruder..I hope 

#OscarPistorius's uncle Arnold & Reeva's family lawyer shared some urgent words in the adjournment. So far Masipa backed the defence account

so now she is agreeing with Mrs Burger 

Forward thinking  "@Queen_UK: Have sent the #OscarPistorius judge a text to ask her to make a decision on #Scotland whilst she's at it."

I know!!!!  confused.com

I love the Queen on twitter 

 I wonder if she's open to bribes?

I'm only joking, judgey!!

or legs striking the door 

Masipa says it is clear that the screams between the shots and the bat sounds must have been #OscarPistorius as RS was not able to scream MV

I've always said the minute he shot her in the head - with expanding bullets she died in that bathroom not at the bottom of the stairs in his arms 

most twitters say she is setting out the store with this to dismiss pre-med murder - think we always thought the State (well I did anyhoo) had not done enough for this 

I agree with you.

Can #OscarPistorius version "reasonably be possibly true?" asks Judge, citing prosecution claim the couple were arguing.

the phone was in the bathroom...not in the toilet 

Masipa: "In my view there could be a number of reasons why the deceased felt she had to take her cellphone with her." One would be light.

If the font size on judgey's pages is big, maybe her summing up won't take as long as anticipated.

Now to earlier arguments between RS and OP. Judge rejects state claims (and defence argument too re loving couple.)

I did, although I was hoping for it at the end 

#oscartrial Masipa says the text messages from either side proves nothing, cannot help the court - relationships are fickle.

we can live in hope she'll be finished by dinner time 

That's a fair point.

That would be good. I need to go to Morrisons this afternoon.

thinks she is dismissing it all 

RS "might have left bedroom while accused asleep to get something to eat" says Judge Masipa. Prosecution is taking knock after knock here.

but if OP was so hypervigilent why didn't he hear her get up to get something to eat? 

Oooh, she's dealing with Oscar's evidence now.

He hadn't been sleeping well due to a shoulder injury, so maybe he was knackered and conked out?

Masipa will now discuss #OscarPistorius 's evidence and says she wil do so in detail

too convenient Yogs for me  

I'm a bit annoyed...she's dismissed it all 

pretty much sums it up
