A South African Court headed by Judge Thokozile Masipa has Sentence Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to six years in prison for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp today Wednesday (6th of July 2016).

Pistorius was facing a possible 15-year jail term for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet cubicle door at his home in 2013, but Masipa said substantial and compelling circumstances existed in the double-amputee Olympic runner's case to give him a lesser sentence.

Steenkamp's parents, Barry and June, were present in the courtroom, which was packed with relatives of both Pistorius and Steenkamp and other observers.

In reading out the sentence, Judge Masipa said Pistorius was a "fallen hero."

The judge ordered a recess to give prosecutors and Pistorius' defense lawyers time to decide if either wanted to appeal the sentence.

Just six years?

He deserves the maximum jail time!

He was lucky to get 6years. He should have gotten more imo.. Piers Morgan said if Oscar was black and not famous he would have gotten life imprisonment, I agree.
