Oscar Pistorius has been found not guilty of purposely killing his girlfriend.
Judge Thokozile Masipa said that Pistorius didn’t mean to kill her.
Pistorius was charged with the murder of Reeva Steenkamp, on 14 February last year.
However, Pistorius is still accused of accidentally causing her death and the judge will say over the weekend if he did it by mistake.
In South Africa this is known as culpable homicide. If he is found guilty of this, he could still face a long time in prison.

he should go to prison
Man! I think he killed his girlfriend on purpose. Apparently he heard noises in the bath room and shoot at the door. Seriously why not check first or call to the bathroom or plus what would a burglar want to steal in a bathroom?
that was so sad
He said it was an intruder but that is sooooo unfair because he has been in trouble before for shooting a gun in a restaurant before!!!!
What. He is sooooo guilty
Go to prison you can’t shoot on accident. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
wooooo you can’t shoot someone like that i think he should go to jail
