VIDEOSOscar Pistorius Murder Trial: Why There Will Be No Verdict Until August

Why is there yet another delay? The judge and both legal teams will use this time to review the transcripts of the case, and all of the technical evidence. South Africa doesn't use juries, so it's all in the judge's hands at the end of the day. Pistorius faces life in prison if found guilty.
