Prosecutor Gerrie Nel declared Tuesday “this is the state’s case,” setting the stage for the defence to start its arguments when court resumes Friday. Defence lawyer Brian Webber says that it’s likely Oscar Pistorius will take the stand, but he did not say when the athlete would testify.
Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in the early hours of Valentine’s Day last year. Pistorius says he mistook her for an intruder.
