Finally, after a hearing that has lasted several days, Pistorius, 27, will be sentenced for culpable homicide, or negligent killing, as well
as one weapons-related charge on Tuesday.
Both his Defense lawyer and the Prosecution had painted opposing pictures of South African athlete Oscar Pistorius in their final arguments Friday before his sentencing -- one side depicting him as a broken man who's suffered enough, while the other said he must pay for taking his girlfriend's life.
Pistorius' sentence -- whether imprisonment or not -- will be decided by Judge Thokozile Masipa,
who also presided over his trial. The judge's court clerk told CNN that the sentence was expected to be handed down Tuesday.
