Judgment will be delivered on Friday in the High Court in Pretoria trial of Benoni insurance broker Martin Badenhorst, who is accused of shooting dead his wife.
In August, the court heard that Badenhorst read the Bible and prayed for his wife after shooting her in the arm and chest.
He claimed his gun accidentally went off while they were struggling in their home in November 2007.
He testified more than two years ago that his wife, Yolandi had taunted him with her boyfriend, told him no one wanted him, and slapped him.
When he slapped her back, she reached for his firearm. Two shots were fired while they struggled for the gun.
He claimed she continued to attack him after the first shot went off and that he did not realise she had been hit.
