Judge To Deliver Verdict On Oscar Pistorius On Tuesday



udge Thokozile Masipa who earlier cleared Oscar Pistorius of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp after a hearing that has lasted several days will deliver her verdict on Tuesday for culpable homicide, or negligent killing, as well as one weapons-related charge.
Both his Defense lawyer and the Prosecution had painted opposing pictures of South African athlete Oscar Pistorius in their final arguments Friday before his sentencing — one side depicting him as a broken man who’s suffered enough, while the other said he must pay for taking his girlfriend’s life.
Pistorius’ sentence — whether imprisonment or not — will be decided by Judge Thokozile Masipa, who also presided over his trial.
The judge’s court clerk told CNN
that the sentence was expected to be handed down Tuesday
