Absolute joke ,that judge should not have been allowed to carry on in the case after the ridiculous conclusion she came to originally, he should have got the 15 years
Does he have to serve the full 6 years , or will he be let out on 'good behaviour ' or whatever the SA equivalent is - or for time spent in custody already ?
He could be out in 3
Question Author
He can apply for parole after he has served half his sentence and don't forget he's already served one year.

To me, it appears she has given him the lightest possible sentence.
Nalit, without his legs I don't think he will be 'up to it' for any 'games' in the shower!
Seems sport honours are worth more than a life. I hope he is never invited to partake in olympic sports.
From what I've read he can be out in 2 years. Shameful!! Her poor family.
Shocking - his marvellous acting and false tears have all paid off! I bet they give him the cushiest ride possible in jail too! No justice at all here.
disgraceful !! the wee creep should have been banged up for at least 20 years..WITH NO LEGS ! ...no justice for Reeva...S Africa hang your head in shame..money / status/ class..still rules...gutted for her family....hope someone puts him right inside !!!

///Oscar Pistorius has been sent back to prison for murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp but is expected to be released on parole in as little as three years.///

It only reinforces my belief that life in Z.A. is considered, by some of their judges ,as cheap as the UK judges think also!
strange idea of justice in SA, but then again, we have a weird one in the UK too.
I still think he's a murderer and should be life in jail
Thanks, Ed, for editing my post :)

6 years doesn't sound like enough for what was always going to be murder, despite the legal farce of the last few years. From the BBC link above :::


"Judge Thokozile Masipa said mitigating circumstances, such as rehabilitation and remorse, outweighed aggravating factors, such as his failure to fire a warning shot, for deviating from the prescribed 15-year sentence"

What a load of bloody tosh !
This was only one year longer than he'd got for the lighter sentence. Under those circumstances six years feels far too short.
Hi ladybirds

In my opinion, no..... it is not fair at all especially as folk have already mentioned he could be free in 2/3 years.....Shameful!......I have no doubt that he murdered his girlfriend brutally and should have been given a harsher sentence more fitting to taking her life away.....her family must be devastated.
