The episode titled "The Man Who Wasn't There" is the fourth episode of the first season of Pistorius. The true-crime documentary series follows the high-profile trial of Olympic and Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, who was charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in 2013.

In this episode, the prosecution continues to call witnesses to the stand in an effort to build a case against Pistorius. The focus is on the testimony of Michelle Burger, a neighbor who heard screams and gunshots coming from Pistorius's home on the night of the murder.

Burger's harrowing account of the events that unfolded on that fateful evening proves to be both compelling and controversial. Her testimony contradicts Pistorius's claims that the shooting was a tragic accident and instead suggests that the couple may have been in the midst of a heated argument.

The defense team works to undermine Burger's credibility and pokes holes in her recollection of the events. They argue that she was likely influenced by media reports and that her perception of the events may have been distorted.

As the trial progresses, tensions continue to run high and emotions reach a boiling point. The episode culminates with the testimony of another witness, Charl Johnson, who also heard the screams and gunshots that night. His testimony provides further insight into the events that unfolded, but it also sparks a heated exchange between the prosecution and the defense.

Overall, "The Man Who Wasn't There" is a gripping episode that presents a complex and nuanced portrayal of a high-profile trial. Through the testimony of witnesses like Michelle Burger and Charl Johnson, viewers are given a closer look at the events that led up to the murder and the various perspectives involved in the case.
