Nel looks like he's doodling.

yes  but she disregarded all the other witnesses and he was so contradictory she must be seen to do the same, I hope  

yep and he only has himself to blame - defence team couldn't work around his outright lies 

bast, luck, effi ...hope he get some time 

Masipa says #OscarPistorius 's actions is inconsistent with a lack of criminal capacity

she's dismissing the disability aspect as she rightly should 

Masipa says the court accepts OP choosing fight rather than flight, but finds it strange

 He should have stuck to the defence version instead of going off piste.

I'm back to M'lady getting on me norks 

As Judge begins citing other cases to support her arguments, a sense we may be moving towards verdict?

Judge Masipa says Oscar Pistorius clearly wanted to use his firearm. This is important, she's finding that he had intent, implies murder

I'm not sure how this is going to go...M'lady is a tease 

#PistoriusTrial This is the difference between pre-med murder, unplanned murder or culpable homicide (negligence in killing)

Masipa: "This argument does not make sense in my view... It was only under cross-examination that he contradicted himself."

Masipa says defence argued OP was emotional on meds when testifying thus poor testimony, she doesn't agree

tweet 

Judge calls #OscarPistorius "an evasive witness." Says failed to listen to questions giving impression "more worried by impact of answers."

not a good statement for OP 

haha she's mentioned him apportioning blame to other people 

#OscarTrial Masipa: simple questions turned in to debates, when contradictions were pointed out he blamed his counsel.

as we rightly predicted - M'lady is not happy with this 

Judgey is right.

Judge Masipa says even if the accused is "untruthful" it doesn't necessary follow that he "must be guilty"

she swings one way then the other but I live in hope it's to stop her decision being overturned on appeal 

she missed get the **** out 

I am confused too...she dismissed witnesses and now seems to be making excuses for him being untruthful 

#oscartrial Masipa: she would have heard him, because on his evidence he shouted at the top of his voice.

Safe to say pendulum has swung back?#

back towards the State methinks 

She is trying to confuse us. It's working.

I've not a clue...I think he could walk 

Judge says she must be guided by what is reasonably possible.

I will miss this thread when it is over. .I've nto watched any on the TV or LS but have followed this thread.

am constantly refreshing now to find out the verdict ..

thanks to all of you for giving me a good read. .

Hope he gets a long long sentence

Really hope the British guy's trial is televised too. .I'll be stuck for something to follow on here if it isn't

she's done a grand job 

Onus on state to prove reasonable doubt, says Judge. #OscarPistorius

I don't think they did 

you should have joined in Olly 

#OscarTrial Masipa: on count one the evidence is purely circumstantia

 Yes, you should.

we knew he was getting off with pre med 

so not guilty of premeditated murder - we knew that 

#OscarTrial Masipa: on count one the evidence is purely circumstantia
