#OscarPistorius and so gastric emptying returns to the twitter trends map

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius Nel - Masipa found OP to be a poor witness but then accepted his defence. On objective facts he's guilty of murder

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius Nel - Masipa allowed accused's plethora of defences and then picked the least plausible one

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius Majiedt raising Masipa's ignoring of Mangena's ballistic evidence

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius Nel saying that Masipa said her reasoning for ignoring circumstantial evidence wld become clear but never did

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius Nel - Masipa only paid lip service to circumstantial evidence in her judgement.

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarAppeal Gerrie's not such a bulldog when it comes to the SCA.

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarAppeal Masipa strikes the application off the roll. We will see you in Bloemfontein some day

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarAppeal Masipa points out that both sides had e opportunity to argue on December 10 as to points of law VS points of fact

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarAppeal So we will now hear Masipa's ruling -

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius Next year in Bloemfontein. For now it's goodbye and good luck.

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius NPA - have to think about whether we still want to petition SCA in respect of sentence

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius NPA - our argument is that OP should have been convicted of murder and sentenced to minimum of 15 years

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius NPA - it's not about winning, it's always about justice and justice has been served

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius NPA - we are now on the hands of the SCA in terms of a date for the appeal hearing

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius NPA - we will consider the issue of refusal to appeal ammo charge

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius NPA - the issues we wanted clarified were questions of law and the judge agrees with us on that

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius NPA spokesperson - we welcome the outcome. This is what we wanted.

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius and so that is that for today

[TMG Oscar @OscarsTrial]

#OscarPistorius Masipa - SCA will consider whether principles of dolus eventualis were correctly, circumstantial evidence
