Defence and State lawyers delivered their final arguments on Thursday and Friday, after which Judge Thokozile Masipa said she would hand down judgment in the matter on September 11.
Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder following the fatal shooting of his girlfriend model and law-graduate Reeva Steenkamp.
He shot her through a locked toilet door at his Pretoria home on Valentine’s Day last year.
He claimed he mistook her for an intruder.
