Oscar Pistorius: Judge Delivering Verdict Live
#1
The judge in the Oscar Pistorius trial, Judge Thokozile Masipa, seems to be unimpressed with evidences of most witnesses as she has begun to question "the reliability of several witnesses in court..."

According to the judge, "humans were fallible, and may not have heard gunshots or screaming as they thought."

The BBC reports that: "Judge Thokosile Masipa began by detailing the charges against the athlete and repeating extracts of his testimony, reading in a slow, measured way. She then moved on to a summary of the trial." BBC News - Oscar Pistorius trial: Accused 'inconsistent' on gunshots

I think Pistorius may walk scott-free today. This does not mean that he won't be liable for manslaughter or culpable homicide... So far, the judge's statement seem to be in favor of the defense.

EDIT:
Verdict seems to be taking a different turn as Judge says that Pistorius testimony was full of inconsistencies.
She continues reviewing evidence, testimony before verdict.
Judge: He knew where he kept his firearm and knew where the bathroom was." Inconsistent with lack of criminal capacity…"
Judge: Defence submitted that the accused could not be held responsible for a reflex action. I disagree with this submission.
Judge: The accused was a poor witness...
Judge: "The state has not proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of premeditated murder. There are not enough facts."
Judge: Pistorius cannot be guilty of murder.

Court goes on lunch break, will resume and may consider whether Pistorius should be guilty of culpable homicide.
