display of rhee have's -- >> the deceased is -- three of these wounds, which the deceased sustained could have resulted in severe beating. >> then a dramatic turn in the trial. prosecutors presented text messages from reboueva to oscar depicting a stormy relationship. >> i just want to love and be loved and be happy. maybe we can't do that for each other. of course right now i know you're not happy and i'm certainly very unhappy and sad. i'm scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me and of how you act to me. >> the defense countered by reading just some of 1,700 messages that they said were

loving and affectionate. >> and the response by reeva to mr. pistorius. okay, angel, sweetest of dreams. >> they showed the couple happy in a convenience store ten days before steencamp was killed. >> the prosecutor got his chance to confront the stories directly. >> you killed her, you shot and killed her. when do you take responsibility for that. >> i did, mi lady. >> say it, i shot and killed reeva steencamp. >> melvin played video of pistorius at a shooting range, pointing out oscar's apparent delight at his high powered weapon.

>> it exploded, am i right? >> that's correct. >> you know that the same thing happened to reeva's ahead, it exploded. >> the prosecutor living up to his reputation of being a pit bull goaded and hammered miss for you. >> this is now the biggest evidence of your reputation. mr. pistorius, you're now in the room and she's three feet beyond that particular door. there's no way you'll convince a court that she stood there staying that. while she not say a thing? >> i don't know. >> that's not true. the only reason is that it's not true, mr. pistorius. she would have responded. >> she would have been terrified, but i don't think that would have led to her to scream out. >> she wasn't scared of anything, except you. she wasn't scared of an intruder. she was scared of you.

>> in the final days of cross-examination, the prosecution still wasn't buying pistorius's story. >> why are you getting emotional? >> it's an emotional -- it's emotional memories. >> no, it's not. you're getting frustrated because your version is improbable. >> nel attacked pistorius saying he was lying. >> your version is not only untrue, but it's so improbable that it cannot be reasonably properly true. you locked yourself in the toilet, you armed yourself for the sole purpose of shooting and her killed her. and that's what you did. >> whether oscar pistorius will ever run another race, what his future holds will be determined in court. if convicted, he's facing a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
