Oscar Pistrious sentenced to 5 years in prison

More than seven months after Olympic runner
Oscar Pistorius's trial for killing girlfriend
Reeva Steenkamp started, Judge Thokozile
Masipa today announced a punishment of five
years imprisonment after finding him guilty of
culpable homicide.
Pistorius was acquitted of murder. He had
testified during his murder trial that he
mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. Reporters
in court in Pretoria say that Arnold Pistorius,
uncle of the jailed athlete, has indicated there
will be no appeal – the family expected him to
go to jail. He will serve a minimum of 10 months in jail,
after that, he'll be sent home to serve the
remainder of his sentence under strict
supervision controls. This will be up to South
African Correction Services. To light or to light yeah I said that right.
