Judge Thokozile Masipa sitting this Thursday started
handing down her judgement in the trial proceeding of Oscar Pistorius, finding him not guilty of the first count charge
(murder). Below Herein, are some key quotes from the judge so far:


On the state’s case: “The state clearly has not proved beyond
reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of
premeditated murder.” “Viewed in its totality, the evidence failed
to establish that the accused had the requisite

premeditation.” “The accused therefore cannot be found
guilty of murder.” On Pistorius's actions:
“He took a conscious decision, he knew
where he kept his firearm and he knew
where his bathroom was. This is inconsistent
with lack of criminal capacity.”
