PRETORIA, South Africa -- The defence team for Oscar Pistorius plans to close its case after its last witness, a physician who has treated the athlete, completed his testimony at the murder trial on Monday, a lawyer said. The end of testimony signals a new phase in the months-long trial of Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in what he has described as a mistaken shooting. It is expected to lead to a break during which the defence and prosecution prepare final arguments as the high-profile legal battle moves toward a conclusion. Barry Roux, the chief defence lawyer, indicated that he would wrap up on Tuesday morning after final consultations with his team. "We plan to close the case," Roux told Judge Thokozile Masipa. Pistorius, 27, has said he fatally shot Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model, through a closed toilet door after thinking there was an intruder in his home. The prosecution says Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp after a Valentines Day argument last year. Earlier Wednesday, chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel said the last defence witness, physician Wayne Derman, could not be objective about the double-amputee runner because he was too familiar with the Paralympian, having treated him over many years and travelled with him extensively. Derman had testified that Pistorius had an anxious nature linked to his disability, bolstering the defence case that the runners allegedly deep sense of vulnerability was a factor in the killing because, according to his version, he believed he was under threat. Under questioning, Derman acknowledged that his testimony did not amount to a "forensic report" but disputed Nels assertion that he could not be objective. On Sunday, an Australian broadcaster showed video footage of Pistorius participating in a re-enactment of how he says events unfolded on the night he killed Steenkamp. In the video, Pistorius is seen walking on his stumps with an arm outstretched and fist clenched, as though holding a gun. It also shows Pistorius carrying a woman. It is unclear where the re-enactment was filmed. The broadcast by Channel Seven prompted criticism from a lawyer for Pistorius who said the re-enactment was made with the help of a U.S.-based company last year as part of the defence teams trial preparations. The video has not been shown at the trial, and it was not mentioned in court on Monday. Pistorius, who is free on bail, faces 25 years to life in prison if found guilty of premeditated murder, but he could also be sentenced to a shorter prison term if convicted of murder without premeditation or negligent killing. Additionally, he faces separate gun-related charges. Pistorius was born without fibulas, the slender bones that run from below the knee to the ankle. His lower legs were amputated when he was 11 months old. China Jerseys Cheap .

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Jeremy Hellickson isnt used to playing meaningless games. "Its definitely no fun when you come to the park and you know youre not going to be playing in October," Hellickson said after giving up four runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings of Tampa Bays 4-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Friday night that eliminated the Rays from playoff contention. "In the four or five years Ive been here I havent been involved in too many games that havent meant anything." The Rays, who dropped to 35-44 at home, began the day 9 1/2 games behind the second AL wild-card spot. Jose Quintana pitched into the eighth inning and Avisail Garcia had a two-run double for the White Sox. Chicago rookie Jose Abreu also had a run-scoring single during a four-run fifth, giving him 104 RBIs for the season. "We put ourselves in a significant hole (they were 24-42 on June 10) and its been really hard to dig out," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "To not be involved in the post-season is no fun. We expect to be there on an annual basis." The Rays reached the playoffs four of the preceding six years. Tampa Bay had a chance to tie the score in the seventh when Ben Zobrist hit a two-out double off the glove of second baseman Marcus Semien, but Semien recovered the ball in time to throw out Kevin Kiermaier at the plate. Kiermaier was attempting to score from first base after his single. "I never criticize (Kiermaier) because hes always aggressive," Maddon said. "Their guy picks it up and throws a strike at the plate. Out. Theres no guarantee that he would have scored on the next hitter doing something." Logan Forsythe drove in Tampa Bays runs with a two-run double in thee first and a leadoff home run in the fourth, his sixth of the season.dddddddddddd Quintana (9-10) gave up three runs -- one earned -- and nine hits in 7 1-3 innings. The left-hander is 3-0 with a 1.65 ERA over his last four starts. "After the homer, I think he just really settled down and was aggressive," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura. "Really its kind of a calling card of his. He gets stronger as the game goes along." Zach Putnam got the last two outs, striking out Kiermaier with two runners on in the ninth to earn his sixth save. Hellickson (1-4) failed to get through the fifth inning for the third time in his last five starts. "Its just happened so many times this year with guys giving me a three- or four-run lead, and I throw four or five scoreless and then just lose it the next inning," he said.
