Oscar Pistorius admits shooting girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp dead at his home but claims he thought she was an intruder. As we near the end of the second day of the trial, here are a few tweets from Gareth Cliff, Trevor Noah, Lazola Gola and more.

The Oscar Pistorius trial has been compared to that of the OJ Simpson case in the United States 20 years ago.

Like Simpson, Pistorius first gained fame as a high-profile athlete; in 2012, Pistorius competed at the London Olympics as the first double-leg amputee to compete at the Games. And like Simpson, Pistorius is accused of murdering the person most would consider closest to him: Reeva Steenkamp, his model girlfriend.

What is the difference then? The Pistorius trial is taking place in the Twitter age and because of this, everyone is 'an expert'.

Not only will the trial be live-tweeted by a string of journalists and court observers, Twitter has also become an essential part of the court of public opinion.

The Twitter handle @OscarTrial199 provides detailed information about what’s going on in the Pretoria courtroom.

Twitter users can also go straight to the source by following Pistorius at @OscarPistorius.

And what would a heated topic be without the input of the satirical designer, Zapiro?

The Kagiso Digital designer, Zole Moloi,  is back with another Mandos spoof. Would you like a Michelle Burger with those fries?

Pistorius faces charges of murder, illegal possession of ammunition, and two additional counts relating to shooting a gun in public in two separate incidents before last year's Valentine's Day killing.

According to The Guardian, criminal law experts believe that if the prosecution fails to prove premeditated murder, firing several shots through a closed door could bring a conviction for the lesser charge of culpable homicide, a South African equivalent of manslaughter covering unintentional deaths through negligence. Sentences in such cases range from fines to prison. They are left to the courts to determine and are not set by fixed guidelines.
