Oscar Pistorius will soon be a free man after being granted parole 2 years earlier than expected for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in 2013...

quote:
The ex-Olympic sprinter and convicted killer was sentenced to 13 years and five months in 2016 for shooting and murdering the 29-year-old -- but after winning his parole board hearing Friday, the Department of Correctional Services in South Africa has granted him parole, effective January 5, 2024.

The terms of his parole state he'll stay and live in the area of Pretoria ... requiring permission from authorities to leave.

He'll also have to join a court-ordered anger management program and do community service -- and the parole conditions will remain in place for 5 years.

Her family should be waiting for him when he's released so that true justice can be carried out.

If he robbed a jewelry store, they would have given him 70 years.

He thought she was a thief, South Africa has very bad crime, the possibility of someone breaking in , in the middle of the night is very common

Pills are often in the bathroom. People steal pills for use or resale.

The fact that he was at home and shot through a non see through glass door without thinking of family possibly in the house. 10 years at the very least.

Gotta love the white people on here criticizing without knowing the full context. Oscar is a huge good character PoC. USA would be lucky to have him.
