joining me live from pretoria ayman mohyeldin. the doctor was the first person in the house after the shooting. do we know if he heard the gunshot and ran into the home? or was he called by oscar? how did he get in the home? >> you're absolutely right tamron, this is what makes him such an important witness. first of all, he lives directly next to oscar's house. more importantly he has a clear view from his own balcony. that night according to dr. johan stipp he was awoken in the middle of the night as a result of three bangs he heard. that prompted him to the balcony. he heard cries for help. that rushed him to run downstairs and go into oscar's home. as you heard, he saw there inside that house on the ground her motionless body no pulse no sign of life, and oscar pleading for help. at one point one of the morse emotional scenes inside that courtroom was when he was describing oscar crying throughout the whole entire process, pleading praying to god that she does not die that night. at one point he even said that oscar was prayin
