Oscar Pistorius to be sentenced for murder on July 6
Oscar Pistorius will know his fate in exactly three weeks.
"This matter has been postponed to Wednesday, 6 July 2016 for sentencing," she said.
The athlete will be re-sentenced in Pretoria on a conviction of murder for killing Reeva Steenkamp three years ago.
He was originally found guilty of culpable homicide by the trial court, but that conviction was set aside by the Supreme Court of Appeal and replace with murder after the State appealed.
Before announcing the date of sentencing, Judge Thokozile Masipa dealt with an application brought by the State to have a ban on certain crime scene photos of Reeva Steenkamp lifted.
"I grant the request that these photographs 135, 136, 137, 138, 139 and 140 may be made public," Judge Masipa said.
