I am very glad he got jail though.But sentence far too short.

Note: A five year sentence is *not* "five years in prison" or "jailed for five years". Prison time may be less than half. #Pistorius

Update: The BBC are reporting that the International Paralympic C ommittee will not allow Pistorius to compete again, even if he serves his full sentence. Personally, I’m pleased they’ve seen sense.
