SENTENCE UPDATE: Oscar Pistorius Jailed For Five Years by meedx: 11:06am On Oct 21, 2014 |
A recap as Pistorius waits in the holding cell at the high court in Pretoria to be taken to begin his prison sentence: Judge Thokozile Masipa has given Pistorius a five-year prison sentence for the culpable homicide of Reeva Steenkamp. She also handed down a three-year sentence for negligently discharging a firearm in a crowded restaurant, wholly suspended and to be served concurrently. There are disputed claims about how long the athlete will serve in prison, with the defence team indicating it expects him to be considered for house arrest after 10 months, and the National Prosecuting Authority insisting he must serve a minimum of one-third in jail: 20 months. Pistorius is expected to be moved this afternoon to Kgosi Mampuru II prison, formerly Pretoria Central, where it is anticipated he will be housed in the hospital wing. The Pistorius family is due to give a press conference shortly source:http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2014/oct/21/oscar-pistorius-sentencing-prison-live |

Pistorius family statement Oscar Pistorius’s uncle, Arnold Pistorius, is addressing reporters outside the court. Today a new season starts for us as a family … Not just the Pistorius family alone, but the Steenkamp family. It has been a harrowing 20 months. We are all emotionally drained and exhausted. The case that was set down for three weeks originally has been dragged out for seven months – in fact, for 20 months [since the bail hearing]. In the process, [the state] decided to inflict as much collateral damage as they could, by keeping the cloud of premeditated murder as long as possible … The truth became totally irrelevant to the state’s case to make premeditated murder stick. We accept the judgment. Ocar will embrace this opportunity to pay back to society. I appeal to all of you as the media to accept the ruling of the court. After 20 months of relentless public trial, I would ask you … to let us move forward … and give us some degree of dignity and privacy as we do so. I want to say something as an uncle. I hope Oscar will start his own healing process as we walk down the path of restoration. As a family we are ready to support and guide Oscar as he serves his sentence. Please understand that I don’t want to take any questions. Source: http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2014/oct/21/oscar-pistorius-sentencing-prison-live |

Pistorius, who has left the court in a prison van, is expected to arrive at Kgosi Mampuru II prison, formerly Pretoria Central, fairly soon. As Pretoria Central, the jail was notorious for holding political prisoners and was the official site for capital punishment carried out in South Africa during the apartheid era. |

busterr:Nothing is ever going to bring her back. We might not be satisfied with the sentence but at the end of the day that's what justice is all about. We could say perhaps , some closure finally |

kingmekus:Today was different, his face was expressionless and carried no emotion. As the Judge read out the sentence, he just stood with a "stoned Face". |

Oscar was supposed to befriend that chic just so he can show off his latest trophy to his pals while Reeva was supposed to play nice just long enough so she can tap into Oscar's popularity and boost her own public profile, n in turn, boost her modelling career. That was how they were supposed to act the movie but they freaking lost their plots. 1 Like 1 Share |
