For killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013, Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to 5 years in prison.
The following was what she considered before imposing her sentence
1. Culpable homicide - 5 years in prison
2. For the Tasha shooting - 3 years in prison, suspended for 5 years
The two sentences will run concurrently
Oscar Pistorius is also automatically unfit to possess a firearm. And all his certificates of competence seized
Implication: He is going to jail for only 5 years. He is eligible for parole after 10 months though.
For those complaining about 5 years being too small, don't be shocked- he may be released after 8 months
All Oscar needs to do now is to behave well in jail and he will be out in less than a year.
