Judge Masipa has read much of her judgement and she's just found Oscar
Pistorius not guilty of murder. The judge explained that Oscar's
reaction after killing Reeva shows he didn't have criminal intent,
hadn't foreseen he'd killed her.
"The state has not proved beyond
reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of premeditated murder. There are just not enough facts to support such a finding'
the judge said.
While he's not guilty of premeditated murder, he awaits to find out if
he's guilty of culpable homicide (manslaughter) which is the negligent
death of another. It means there was no intention to kill but the
killing is unlawful. The court has adjourned for early lunch.
