oscar pistorius sentence
After the court announced yesterday the Oscar Pistorius sentence of 5 years for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, the parents of the victim said that they are “satisfied” with the judges’ decision. Reeva Steenkamp’s parents Barry and June Steenkamp made an official statement on the “Good Morning Britain” broadcast show, saying that although there is still a “big missing piece of the puzzle” in the murder of their daughter, they will accept the five-year prison sentence announced yesterday.
The victim’s parents said that they are trying to come to terms with what Oscar Pistorius did but that they will try to accept the judge’s decision of sending Pistorius to serve 5 years in a South African prison. The parents of the victim said that:
“It’s not that we want vengeance or anything or him to suffer with his disabilities, but at the same time we feel satisfied that he will realize now that you can’t go around doing things like that. We have gone along with the judge and her decision. Only Oscar knows whether that sentence is acceptable to him; I’ve got my feelings to the whole thing but we do accept what the judge handed down.”
Oscar Pistorius became known as the double amputee medal-winning athlete. He was convicted of killing his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day 2013. Pistorius said that he never intended to shoot his girlfriend because he didn’t know it was her, as he mistook her for an intruder. Oscar Pistorius shot his girlfriend four times through the bathroom door and killed her. The judge convicted Pistorius of culpable homicide and cleared him of murder. Pistorius was found guilty of negligent killing but the victim’s parents don’t think he killed their daughter by mistake. The victim’s parents talked about the problems Pistorius and his girlfriend were having, saying that their daughter told them Pistorius was often angry with her and treated her badly.
Oscar Pistorius has started his five-year sentence in the Kgosi Mampuru II prison.
What do you think of the sentence Oscar Pistorius was given? Do you think he got enough for the crime he committed? Leave your comments in the section below.

Remember that weird girl in school who never quite managed to fit in? Who was always silent and strange? That was me during my entire teenage life. A few years after finishing college (with a degree in arts) I decided that the best way to become more sociable, while also feeling safe, is to test my people skills online.
