Wow another 'all-star' privileged handsome athlete practically gets away with murder... What a world we live in! South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee who dazzled the world by running in the 2012 Paralympic Games on prosthetic legs, was sentenced to 6 years in prison for the 2013 murder of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp on valentines day - a killing he says was an accident, after he mistook her for an intruder, however the prosecution called this a deliberate act after the two had an argument, she was shot cold-bloodedly. 15 years is the minimum sentence for murder under South African law unless the judge finds mitigating circumstances justifying a lesser penalty.
Judge Thokozile Masipa said she had indeed found reason for a lighter sentence, in particular, REMORSE. His lawyer continued: “He suffers from an anxiety disorder. We know that … when he was on his stumps, his balance was seriously compromised, and without anything he won’t be able to defend himself,” Roux said. Read more on CNN. So there should be no justice for an innocent lady who was shot cold-bloodedly by someone she loved and trusted because he is 'physically & emotionally' disabled??? Who is the victim here? Did he think about that before killing her? Now he gets to spend about 2 more years, he already served 1 with good behavior he may only do 3 years, is that Justice?? I hope the women in South Africa band together and protest this💪
