Oscar Pistorius Jailed For Five Years by xtianh(m): 10:12am On Oct 21, 2014
South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been jailed for five years for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Judge Thokozile Masipa, issuing the ruling in court in Pretoria, also gave Pistorius a three-year suspended sentence for a firearms charge. Pistorius has been taken to the cells.

The prosecution had called for a minimum 10-year sentence; the defence for community service and house arrest.

Pistorius was convicted of culpable homicide but cleared of murder.

It would not be a surprise if he is granted very early parole and set free on "compassionate" grounds, in as little as one year or less.
