i can say oscar is a gentleman.ebody who went after a big dream. >> reporter: that dream began when at school pistorius was given carbon fiber prosthetics and began to run. it was here in pretoria in march 2004 when a teenage pistorius, after just two months of training with blades, showed just how good he was. running 100 meters in just 11.51 seconds, a new world record. >> rotate. >> reporter: confidence was no problem as pistorius told the bbc in 2007. >> i've put in more hours. i eat better. sleep better. race better. overall, i think i train better than other guys. >> oscar pistorius is flying away from all of them! 21.99. my goodness. >> reporter: paralympic golds followed in athens and beijing. by now, pistorius had become a brand. >> they told me that i'd never walk and a man with no legs can't run. anything else you want to tell me? >> reporter: at london, he became the first amputee to run at the olympics, but by now stories were also emerging of another side to his character. david o'sullivan has known pi

we're going through oscar pistorius's mind. but there's no element of a whodunit. >> and the cross-examination which was done by the prosecutor sort of hammered always in that direction. did this intentionally. you knew it was wrong. you knew your girlfriend was behind the door. absolutely. if he had cross-examinatied hime might have found -- what he has done now is to create sympathy. that doesn't mean it's not to the point. of course it's really important. if it's overdone, if it's too deliberate, then you create sympathy for the accused. >> let's return to what some of judge masipa has been saying in the last hour about the issue of premeditated murder and the state's inable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that oscar pistorius was guilty of that crime. >> viewed in its totality, the evidence failed to establish that the accused had the requisite intention to kill the deceased, let alone with premeditation. i am here talking about direct intention. the state clearly has not proved reasonable doubt that the accused is guilt

admitted to killing reeva steenkamp, but does that make oscar pistorius a murderer? today was the day for answers. 14 february -- >> in judge -- and court the judge began to explain how she reached the verdict. this is where it happens. pistorius rushed from his bedroom, down the narrow corridor towards his bathroom. reeva steenkamp was in the corner toilet, the door locked. >> we know oscar pistorius was found about here, his gun pointed toward the door. what this trial has had to decide is, did he deliberately kill reeva steenkamp, or was he startled by a noise and fired almost without thinking? wasprosecution says it premeditated murder, but today the judge brushed that aside. >> there is just not enough facts to support such a finding. >> she dismissed the evidence of neighbors who said they had heard a woman scream and said there was no proof oscar and a's relationship was on the rocks.
