"The state has not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of premeditated murder," said Masipa. "There are just not enough facts to support such a finding."

"Clearly," she added, "he did not subjectively foresee this as a possibility that he would kill the person behind the door—let alone the deceased—as he thought she was in the bedroom."

Upon hearing the verdict, Pistorius—who has throughout the trial exhibited emotional outbursts of tears—broke down sobbing.

Although the Olympian "Bladerunner" was acquitted of premeditated murder, he still faces charges of culpable homicide.

An AP report revealed that Judge Masipa "remained impassive throughout the often dramatic and gruesome court proceedings, seemingly impervious to the global interest in a case that has drawn comparisons to the 1995 murder trial of American football star O.J. Simpson."
