DonLever Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 So, this is what it comes down to. Kill a woman, get 5 year sentence but only serves 1/6 of sentence which equals 10 months. From Reuters: South African athlete Oscar Pistorius will be released on parole on Aug. 21 after serving 10 months of a five-year sentence for culpable homicide of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, authorities said. The Olympic and Paralympic track star is behind bars in the capital, Pretoria, after being convicted in October after a seven-month trial. The release of Pistorius, whose lower legs were amputated when he was a baby, had been largely expected under South African sentencing guidelines that say non-dangerous prisoners should spend only one-sixth of a custodial sentence behind bars. A prison service statement said Pistorius would spend the remainder of his time under "correctional supervision", a form of house arrest. Steenkamp, a 29-year-old law graduate and model, died on Valentine's Day in 2013 when Pistorius shot her through a locked toilet door at his luxury Pretoria home. Prosecutors had pushed for a murder conviction, but the athlete maintained he fired in the mistaken belief an intruder was hiding behind the door, a defense that struck home with many in a country with one of the world's highest rates of violent crime. The state won its bid to appeal the culpable homicide conviction and will seek a murder conviction when the case is heard in November. Pistorius could face a prison sentence of at least 15 years if convicted of murder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I got a couple people on my list that might just be worth 10 months in the slammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Okay, cool. I've always believed that Pistorius was telling the truth, and if he has been deemed non-dangerous, house arrest for however long should be punishment enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of an intruder goes into your bathroom and shuts the door. Then what kind of a &^@#ing moron who lives with his GF doesn't say honey is that you? But instead just shoots through the door. It so obvious he just killed his GF in cold blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensive Threat Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Okay, cool.

You are the first Ive heard of to believe it. I for one think he murdered her in a fit of rage, that he was known for. Hes non-dangerous as long as you arent his girlfriend. They are gonna go ahead and try for a murder conviction again so he may finally get some real jail time. 15 years. Maybe he will only have to do 1/6th of that too.
