Oscar Pistorius

[Geoff Tipps]

Could be considered for release after 1/6 of his sentence.

[seafoid]

5 years

In the big house or at home?

Looking through bars.

Culpable homicide. Fair enough. You would feel sorry for her family and they had to make an example of him.

[orangeman]

Effectively means 10 months behind bars and the rest in the house. Not a bad deal.

[Tony Baloney]

5 years

Looking through bars.

In RSA he probably has bars on his windows anyway.

[T Fearon]

You didn't expect him to walk free,did you? 

[Denn Forever]

He didn't have a leg to stand on.

I'll get my coat.

Just read the judgement there in our legal system he would have been convicted of Manslaughter but the standard for intent is very low.  Their appellate structure is also very strange and very active compared to our own.

[Gold]

That's the last we'll see of him for a right few summers

Athletics career/chance of a comeback gone completely now I'd say.

What a f**king publicity stump  - hopefully he gets all he deserves!
