Oscar verdict on 9/11

AFP, Pretoria
A verdict in the high profile murder trial of sports star Oscar Pistorius has been set for September 11, after lawyers on Friday wrapped up five months of drama-filled proceedings.
Eighteen months after Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013, the Paralympian's fate now lies in the hands of South African Judge Thokozile Masipa.
"We shall be back here on the 11th of September at 9:30 for the judgment, " said Masipa, drawing proceedings to a close.
Pistorius stands accused of deliberately shooting dead his glamorous 29-year-old lover with hollow point "cop killer" bullets after an argument.
He faces 25 years in jail if convicted, but has pleaded not guilty, saying he mistook Steenkamp - who was in a locked toilet cubicle at his Pretoria home when she died --for an intruder.
During a trial that has heard testimony from nearly 40 witnesses, the athlete -celebrated for his courageous journey from disabled child to Olympic champion -often cut a wretched figure.
Amid gruesome evidence about Steenkamp's gunshot wounds, including how her head “exploded" like a watermelon, Pistorius vomited in the dock and later frequently broke down in tears.
The trial concluded on Friday with fiery defence lawyer Barry Roux insisting the "cold facts" did not prove his client's guilt and that the state's case was 'circumstantial".
Following are the highlights of the fivemonth trial:
MARCH 3
The trial opens in Pretoria, before an army of journalists from around the world, with the testimony of a neighbour who told the court she heard "terrible screams" from a woman and shots.
The trial was broadcast live by several television stations, including a dedicated channel in South Africa.
MARCH 7
Security guard Pieter Baba says Pistorius told him on the phone that "everything is fine” after gunshots were reported the night Steenkamp died, but that the athlete was crying.
MARCH 10
Pathologist Professor Gert Saayman present
a report of his autopsy examination of Steenkamp the day after she died. Pistorius vomits and breaks down several times during the graphic testimony.
MARCH 13
Pistorius vomits again when a picture of the dead model’s body was accidentally flashed on the court's television screens.
MARCH 14
Police tainted vital evidence and even stole an expensive watch from Pistorius's home, the officer who arrested the Paralympian tells the court.
MARCH 24-25
Steenkamp told Pistorius he sometimes scared her, according to personal text messages revealed in court, while a neighbour testified to hearing "terrified screams" the night she died.
APRIL 7-15
Pistorius takes the witness stand and begins with a tearful apology to the family of the woman he shot dead.
This is followed by five days of hell for the accused, including intense cross-examination, marked by several bouts of tears and breaks in the session.
But while he admits to having fired the shots, he refuses to admit any intention to kill his girlfriend.
MAY 5
Witnesses called by the defence say that Pistorius was "broken” after killing his girlfriend. 'He cried, he cried, he prayed...” says Johan Stander, the manager of his residence. Pistorius told him: "I shot Reeva, I thought it was an intruder!"
MAY 14
Judge rules that Pistorius be sent for psychiatric tests after a defence witness testified that he suffered from a 'general anxiety disorder'.
JUNE 30
A panel of three psychiatrists and a psychologist report that Pistorius was not suffering from mental illness.
JULY 12
Pistorius, who is on bail, is expelled from a nightclub after a scuffle with another patron.
AUGUST 7
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel, in his final argument before the court, accused Pistorius of concocting an alibi that led to a "snowball effect" of lies.
AUGUST 8
The trial concludes with closing arguments from the defence. A verdict is scheduled for September 11.
