The Oscar Pistorius murder trial resumes today, with the prosecution and defence delivering their all-important closing statements.
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel will be first to say why he believes Pistorius is guilty of shooting dead his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, after an argument.
Defence lawyer Barry Roux will then present Pistorius' version of events; that the killing was a terrible accident as the paranoid athlete mistook Ms Steenkamp for an intruder.
Lawyer Barry Roux (right) will sum up for the defence Pistorius, 27, faces a minimum 25 years behind bars if found guilty of premeditated murder on Valentine's Day last year.
He could also be convicted on lesser charges, such as culpable homicide or murder without premeditation.
Ms Steenkamp's mother and sisters at the Pretoria trial The trial in Pretoria was put on hold last month after hearing from 37 witnesses.
Judge Thokozile Masipa will decide Pistorius' fate with help from two legal assistants - there is no trial by jury in South Africa.
This week's hearing will last two days before she adjourns the case to consider the verdict.
Paralympian Pistorius has repeatedly vomited and cried during the five-month long trial, with Ms Steenkamp's mother watching him impassively from the public gallery.
