SA Prosecutors To Appeal Pistorius’ Sentence And Conviction
October 27, 2014
South African prosecutors say they are going to appeal against the conviction and sentence given to athlete Oscar Pistorius for killing his girlfriend.
Last week, Pistorius began serving a five year prison sentence for the culpable homicide of Reeva Steenkamp, although he could be out in 10 months.
The double-amputee Olympic sprinter was cleared of murder.
“The appeal on conviction is based on the question of law,” the national prosecuting spokesman said.
Pistorius’ family have said that he will not appeal.
The athlete was also given a three-year suspended sentence for firing a gun in a restaurant.
