Ex-Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to 6 years in prison for the 2013 killing of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp … after his initial manslaughter conviction was upgraded to murder.
Pistorius admitted he shot and killed Steenkamp in his South Africa home — claiming he believed she was an intruder.
He was convicted of manslaughter in 2014 and was living under house arrest as part of a 5 year sentence — but the conviction was overturned and upgraded to murder.
Oscar was facing up to 15 years behind bars — but the judge felt he only deserved 6 … partly due to the fact he’s shown remorse.
The 29-year-old was taken to prison immediately following Wednesday’s hearing. He will be eligible for parole after serving half of his sentence.
Pistorious has 2 weeks to appeal the sentence — though his legal team has suggested they will not initiate appeal proceedings.
The upper heights of fu*kery…

Its clear murder, no ifs, buts or maybe. He lived in a very posh neighbourhood where security is tighter than a virgin. He lived on one of the upper floors, so for someone to have taken a ladder, climbed up, enter the apt. total bullshit. Which intruder worth their weight in criminal salt, would break in, go to the bathroom, close the door to do what? Take a piss or apply make-up? She said she was leaving him and he couldnt have handled it, so he killed her and thought he could have gotten a way with him. Ku pan him tu! Men, always want to leave you, but cant stand being left. What a Valentine’s Day present she got.
oh…yr memory sharp…thx

Six years is an insult to his victim. Him shoulda get way more dan dat. Him is a POS!
The judge went way out of the statute as this carries a Minimum 15yrs!This ruling solves nothing,he may very well kill again smh!
