On Thursday and Friday, both sides will summarize their versions of the shooting to Thokozile Masipa, the red-robed judge who will determine the fate of the double-amputee Olympic runner.

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius' older brother Carl remains in an intensive care unit in a South African hospital and is on a ventilator after a serious car crash last week, the brothers' family said Wednesday.

(Reuters) - The murder trial of Oscar Pistorius wrapped up on Friday with the prosecution making a final plea for the South African athlete to "face the consequences" of shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The last lap in the marathon murder trial of South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius gets underway Thursday.

And when the race is run, Pistorius will either be a free man with a ruined reputation — or a fallen Olympian facing years behind bars.

Clues about the looming verdict could emerge during the reading, but Pistorius will only know the judgment for or against him at the end of what is likely to be a long reading that will grip the world's attention.

The judgement at his trial is likely to be well over 100 pages. The judge will go through each charge, summing up the prosecution and defence cases and analysing the evidence.

Regardless of the verdict handed down on Thursday, it is likely to be appealed by either the defence or prosecution if either disagrees with it. Even after the four months of the trial, and over a year and a half after Steenkamp was killed, the trial could last even longer.

After the sentence is delivered, Pistorius will have a chance to appeal both conviction and sentence. He can also be granted bail at the judge's discretion. However, these bail conditions will come with heavy conditions such as house arrest or reporting to a police station once a week.

Pretoria, South Africa (CNN) -- The night he killed Reeva Steenkamp, Oscar Pistorius did not commit murder, the judge at his trial said Thursday.
He did not intend to kill her, Judge Thokozile Masipa said.
But his conduct was "negligent," she said before adjourning for the day, suggesting she will find the Olympian guilty of culpable homicide.

Masipa said her decision to rule out a premeditated-murder conviction was based on the fact that all the evidence in the case was circumstantial.

A culpable homicide charge could send Pistorius to prison for up to 15 years, although a non-custodial sentence could also be imposed. Mitigating factors, such as his emotional state, anxiety levels and disability could result in a lesser sentence.

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — A South African judge on Friday found Oscar Pistorius guilty of culpable homicide in the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp and declared him not guilty of murder. Prosecutors said they were disappointed by the ruling but would decide on whether to appeal only after sentencing.

After the verdict, Pistorius turned to his family while members of Steenkamp's family comforted each other. When the court adjourned, June could be seen shaking her head and Steenkamp's close friend Gina Myers broke down and wept.

The Oscar Pistorius trial will reconvene on Monday morning for sentencing, but Pistorius may not immediately learn his fate.

Judge Masipa will invite the prosecution and defence to deliver their arguments for a heavier or lighter sentence, and witnesses – including Pistorius himself – may be recalled to the stand. The proceedings may well last for more than one day.

Masipa will likely adjourn court to consider the evidence before setting another date to hand down the sentence.

However, that will probably not mark the end of the case.

After the sentence is handed down, both the state and defence can appeal.
