Prosecutors have claimed the evidence of the final defence witness in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial is not credible.
The trial resumed with the questioning of Professor Wayne Derman, the doctor for the South African Paralympic team.
Professor Derman testified last week that Pistorius was vulnerable, stressed and would have been unable to flee because of his disability.
But prosecutor Gerrie Nel put it to the court on Monday that Professor Derman was close to Pistorius, travelled the world with him and therefore could not be objective.
Mr Nel has yet to mention explicitly the video broadcast on Australian TV that shows Pistorius re-enacting the night he shot Reeva Steenkamp.
The defence commissioned the video but chose not to use it as part of their case - and they are furious it has been broadcast.
The footage shows Pistorius moving on his stumps - and though Mr Nel did not refer to it in court, he suggested Professor Derman's claims about the defendant's lack of mobility were not accurate.
The physician maintained that Pistorius could not flee "as you or I" could - but conceded under questioning that fleeing to another room would have been an "option".
The witness was then asked if he ever considered the state's case that Oscar Pistorius could be lying.
"Of course I have," he replied.
