Oscar Pistorius has been found not guilty of murder - but he still faces a charge of culpable homicide.
The Paralympian's murder case was adjourned today (11.09.14) in Pretoria, South Africa, after judge Thokozile Masipa ruled that he did not murder his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29, in his home in February last year when he shot her dead.
Pistorius, 27, does still face a charge of culpable homicide, which is akin to manslaughter in British law, and while there is no prescribed sentence for the charge in South African law, it is being reported he would face anything from a fine to a lengthy prison sentence if he is found guilty.
Speaking about the culpable homicide charge in court, judge Masipa said: "He acted too hastily and used excessive force. In the circumstance it is clear that his conduct was negligent."
Earlier in the summing up, the judge rejected the charge of premeditated and second degree murder against the sportsman.
She said: "In the present case the accused is the only person who can say what his state of mind was when he fired the shots that killed the deceased.
"How could the accused have reasonably foreseen the shot he fired would have killed the deceased? Clearly he did not subjectively foresee this, that he would have killed the person behind the door, let alone the deceased."
But she did say he acted "unlawfully", explaining: "There is no doubt that when the accused fired shots at the door he acted unlawfully."
During her summing up, the judge also said "most witnesses got their facts wrong" and added: "It would be unwise to rely on any evidence from the witnesses."
Instead of relying on the evidence of the 37 witnesses called during the length case, the judge told the court that technological evidence, such as phone messages from the pair's devices and calls to security, was relied on.
Pistorius - who is known as 'Blade Runner' - was seen looking down and crying during part of the summing up and as the judge rejected the charge of premeditated murder he was seen sobbing quietly.
The athlete has always insisted he was innocent, pleading not guilty to murder and three separate firearm charges, and claiming he had accidentally fired the gun at the model as he acted in self-defence in the mistaken belief she was an intruder.
The prosecution had previously claimed Pistorius had killed the blonde beauty following a huge argument.
Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel previously urged judge Thokozile to dismiss Pistorius' account of events as they were "devoid of any truth" and to convict him of pre-meditated murder.
In June, Pistorius was declared fit to stand trial after his case was put on hold from May while he underwent a medical evaluation.
Four appointed psychiatrists had to decide whether he was "capable of appreciating the wrongfulness of his act" or "criminally responsible" for his behaviour at the time of the shooting.
Both prosecution and defence lawyers accepted the findings and the trial resumed.
The paralympian shot to fame in South Africa after winning a gold medal in the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games in the 200 metres. He also went on to add five other gold medals to his collection in the 2008 Games in Beijing and at London 2012.
The trial continues tomorrow (12.09.14).

Lily Collins thought it was the "end of the world" when she lost out on a role in 'Gossip Girl'.
The 25-year-old actress was devastated when she failed to land a part in the US teen drama TV series because she was desperate to be in the show, but now admits she could have been "pigeon-holed" if she had got the part and would have missed out on several film roles.
She said: "I tested for 'Gossip Girl'. I wanted to be in it so badly, I thought at the time it was the end of the world.
"Now I think, 'Well I would have got pigeon-holed, have had to move to New York, leave high school and be signed away for six years. I wouldn't have done the films I've done, and everything would have been so different.' "
Lily - who has starred in movies 'The Blind Side' and 'Mirror Mirror' - paid tribute to fellow actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart for coping with fame by being "witty" and "cool, young women".
Speaking to Marie Claire magazine, she added: "They're witty, strong, funny, cool, young women. It's really just nice to see that it's possible to go through something like that and still be genuinely awesome people."

Vanessa Hudgens has landed a role in a Broadway version of 'Gigi'.
The 'High School Musical' actress will play the titular character in the musical, and she is overjoyed to have landed the part.
Speaking about the moment she was offered the role, the 25-year-old star told The Washington Post: "I was, like, screaming in the car. I called my mom; I called my dad. I could not believe it."
The actress - who is in a relationship with actor and musician Austin Butler - had been worried when she auditioned to play the character, explaining that she was doubtful about securing the role due to her ethnicity.
She continued: "[I worried about whether] I could really look like I could be a Parisian in the 1900s. I don't think they had many Filipinos there then."
However, the brunette beauty secured the part following an audition in which she sang 'I Don't Understand the Parisians' from the 1959 Academy Award-winning film version of 'Gigi'.
'Gigi' is a romantic comedy which follows the titular character - a Parisian girl - who is groomed by her minders to become a courtesan, but who then encounters love-interest Gaston, who falls for her.
The musical will begin a four-week pre-Broadway tryout at the Kennedy Center from January 16, 2015, with hopes to move on to a theatre near Times Square later in the year.
However, the musical doesn't have a great reputation on Broadway, with a 1973 version flopping after less than 100 performances due to poor ticket sales.

Pharrell Williams' son learned to play the piano aged three.
The 'Happy' hitmaker has revealed his only child, Rocket Williams - who is now four - looks set to follow in his musical footsteps because he can already play keys, much to the 41-year-old star's surprise.
He said: "He plays keys, it's amazing. I didn't start playing piano until I was like in my twenties because I was a classically trained drummer, [my son] was playing keys at like three!"
Pharrell admits he really misses Rocket and the youngster's mother, his wife Helen Lasichanh, when he is on tour but thanks God that video call application FaceTime has been invented so he can see his family while speaking to them from overseas.
While he misses his wife and son when he is playing gigs abroad, the singer admits he enjoys performing to crowds and thinks of it as more of a treat for himself rather than the audience.
Speaking on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', he added: "I'm performing but I kind of feel like I'm the one enjoying the show because they're all there making me feel amazing.
"My band is there to support me, the dancers, the bass, I feel like I'm the one that's getting a treat because it's like 'man y'all don't have to show up here for me!'"

Ellen Pompeo is considering quitting acting after 'Grey's Anatomy'.
The 44-year-old actress has admitted she has no "strong desire" to find new roles when she hags up her stethoscope in the hit ABC series as she no longer wants to work for other people.
She said during a panel hosted by BuzzFeed: "I definitely feel myself transitioning. I don't find acting terribly empowering. For the place I am in my life, I think my age, once I hit 40, I feel differently. I don't necessarily want to work for other people."
However, the Golden Globe winner - who has starred as Meredith Grey on the medical drama since 2005 - refused to confirm that she would be quitting acting for good.
When asked if the end of 'Grey's Anatomy' could mark the end of her acting career, she said: "Oh, absolutely. I mean, never say never, I'm not going to come out and make one of those statements like, 'I'm retiring after...' and then in February come back. I try to keep an open heart, an open mind, an open soul and spirit to whatever comes my way and whatever is meant to be for me will be."
Ellen is contracted to appear on the show alongside her co-star Patrick Dempsey until the end of a potential season 12, although the show - which is set to air the first episode of its 11th series on September 25 - is yet to confirm whether a 12th season will take place.
When asked if she would be willing to extend her contract, she said: "I can't possibly say.
"I don't ever take anything for granted, and I would never be so arrogant as to assume the show would go to season 12. If we're doing our jobs, then possibly we'll be grateful to get a season 12, but I won't assume anything. Let's just make them happy now before we worry about making them happy four years from now."

Arnold Schwarzenegger has had his ex-wife's face removed from a painting.
The 'Terminator' star - the former governor of California - is said to have been so keen to erase any memory of his marriage to former TV journalist Maria Shriver, 58, that he's had an artist paint over the image of her face on his official political portrait.
However, in his hastiness, he neglected to ensure the job was done properly and now California Capitol insiders have been commenting on the odd smudge of blue paint that has replaced Maria's face.
Capitol tour guide Richard Granis told the New York Post newspaper: "Whoever touched it up did not do a very good job. It was softball sized, right there on his left lapel."
The six-foot oil painting originally featured a small lapel pin emblazoned with an image of Maria - whom Arnold split from in 2010 when it emerged he'd fathered a love-child with the family maid - and was painted by renowned Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein.
Another member of the Capitol staff has revealed that as Arnold, 67, was so desperate to have her image removed, following the news last week that she'd been having an affair with his campaign strategist Matthew Dowd, before it's unveiling ceremony on Monday, that he failed to have the artist use the same matte paint as the rest of the artwork.
The employee said: "That's what makes it especially noticeable."

Charlie Sheen has offered to give a waiter $1,000 after he was left a 20 cent tip by an NFL star.
The 'Anger Management' actor took to his Twitter account to make the generous pledge to waiter Rob Knelly after he was given the measly sum by Philadelphia Eagles star LeSean McCoy while serving him at PYT restaurant in Philadelphia.
Charlie tweeted: "dear Tommy Up at PYT in Philly. Please tell Rob K I'm pledging 1000 dollars to him for the tip debacle just wanna help. c #NoJudgement (sic)"
The 49-year-old actor's offer comes after American footballer McCoy hand wrote the 20 cent tip on his receipt after splashing out $61.56 on a meal at the eatery which led to restaurant owner Tommy Up sharing a picture of the bill on the establishment's Facebook page.
In a message accompanying the image, he wrote: "The twenty cent tip that the Eagles' LeSean McCoy just left our server on his $60 check is going to come in really handy for that new official NFL McCoy jersey he had his heart set on.
"That is a .03% tip. New record! (sic)"
Server Rob - who is a Baltimore Ravens fan - claims McCoy and his friends were using rude language and making "derogatory comments" during their time in the restaurant.
Speaking to NJ.com, he said: "I kept my cool for as long as I could, where you just don't want them yelling and cursing you.
"I asked some questions, they weren't really responsive. They were cursing, making derogatory comments. I put their order in and forgot one of their appetisers, which I apologised for.
"They ordered things and, once they got it, said, 'We ain't eating this s**t. We don't want it.' "
He also told NBC Philadelphia: "They didn't know my name. They just said, 'You're my server right?' They were being rude so after I gave them their food I didn't go back to them until they were done. I just avoided their rudeness."

Richard Kiel has died aged 74.
The actor, known for playing the metal-toothed villain Jaws in the James Bond movies 'The Spy Who Loved Me' (1977) and 'Moonraker' (1979), passed away yesterday (10.09.14) at the Saint Agnes Medical Centre in Fresno, California, just three days before his 75th birthday.
A spokesperson for the centre has confirmed the news but details surrounding the cause of death are yet to be released.
Richard - who stood at 7ft 2in - starred opposite Sir Roger Moore in the Ian Fleming penned franchise - and recently appeared with the veteran actor and their co-star Britt Ekland on BBC Radio 4's 'The Reunion' which aired on Sunday (07.09.14).
During the programme, he admitted there were parts about his infamous character - who is often seen killing his adversaries with his teeth - which he worried would seem "over the top" to viewers.
Richard explained: "I was very put off by the description of the character and I thought, well, they don't really need an actor, he's more a monster part.
"So I tried to change that view of it... I said if I were to play the part, I want to give the character some human characteristics, like perseverance, frustration."
However, Jaws - who was due to be killed off at the end of 'The Spy Who Loved Me' - become so popular with fans that writers were forced to bring him back for a second time.
He said: "The original script had me being killed by the shark.
"They filmed that and they also filmed an ending where I survive and pop out of the ocean.
"That was one of the big moments for me, watching the blue-collar screening of the movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, and having the reaction of the crowd at the theatre when Jaws popped out of the ocean, survived and swam away. There were hoots and howling, applause. I couldn't believe it."
Richard is survived by his wife Diane, four children and nine grandchildren.

Kelly Brook says having kids is the only thing she's been denied in life.
The 34-year-old stunner admits she would love to have children in the near future after being cruelly denied twice when she suffered two miscarriages during her relationship with former rugby player Thom Evans.
She said: "It's the only thing I've really been denied.
"I took a bit of time out from that because, obviously, I didn't have a very good experience but, yeah, a family would be nice."
The brunette beauty also paid tribute to her ex-boyfriend Jason Statham - who she recently admitted punching while they were dating - for "saving" her from being a trophy girlfriend during their seven-year relationship until 2004.
She added to Metro newspaper: "When I look back on my twenties, I think, 'Oh my God.' I was being pulled from pillar to post, meeting international movie stars and playboys.
"Jason saved me. It was good discipline to be in a good relationship with someone sound.
