Pistorius: 6 Years.

octatonic

Seems light for murder.

He's already done 1 year.

I wonder if there is early parole in SA?

6 years for killing somebody is mental.

I don't believe his side of the story either.

The whole thing doesn't sit right with me.

It has me thinking though.

I just need to find a way to convince a couple of people to go to South Africa with me.

That guy took his wife on honeymoon there didn't he? 

Easy way to off someone, blame the blacks or your fear of the blacks coming to get you.

Fucking stinks.

Comment seems to suggest he is eligible for parole after serving 1/3, less the 1 year he's already done, so 1 more year.

Fucking hell.

He will almost certainly be able to attend the 2020 Olympics.

Sadly not as human kindling for the torch lighting ceremony though.

It just beggars belief.

Snap

the sentence runs afresh from now, no account for previous time served, as I understand.

He looks to have got off very lightly. I imagine state prosecutors will appeal again, as they did with Judge Masipa's last ruling in the case.

Having said that, its easy for us to sit here in possession of a few snippets, vs the court who have heard all testimony, seen all evidence.
