- South Africa's former Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius, jailed in 2014 for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, has been released on parole.
Pistorius - known as the "Blade Runner" for his carbon-fibre prosthetic legs, shot the 29-year-old model and law graduate through a bathroom door on Valentine's Day in 2013, and later repeatedly told courts he had mistaken her for an intruder.
He was initially jailed for five years in 2014 for culpable homicide by a high court but the Supreme Court of Appeal in late 2015 found him guilty of murder after an appeal by prosecutors.
He was sent back to jail for six years in 2016, less than half the 15-year minimum term sought by prosecutors.
In 2017, the Supreme Court more than doubled his sentence to 13 years and five months, saying the six-year jail term was "shockingly lenient".
Author John Carlin covered the case daily and interviewed Pistorius during the trial.
In an interview with The Sun he talks about the character of the man he met and what he thought about him and if he meant to kill Reeva Steenkamp. He also offers an opinion as to what the athlete will do now he is out of jail.
The Department of Correctional Services announced the parole in November, adding that Pistorius would complete the remainder of his sentence in the system of community corrections and will be subjected to supervision.
Several factors are typically taken into account by a parole board, including the nature of the crime, the possibility of reoffending, conduct in prison, physical and mental wellbeing and potential threats a prisoner may face if released.
Pistorius was denied parole in earlier last year, after it was ruled that he had not completed the minimum detention period required to be considered for parole.
However, the Constitutional Court said in October that Pistorius had served half of his sentence by March 21, which meant he was eligible, after his sentence was backdated to July 2016 instead of November 2017.

If you think someone is in the bathroom who doesn't belong there, First you would warn them you have a gun. And to identify themselves...Not to start shooting without knowing who was in there...
Why would you when you see your partner is not in bed beside you? obviously there was a heated argumemt,enough for her to need to lock herself in the bathroom when the homocidal psycholathic maniac shot thtough the door,maybe cis he got off scott free frim the previous 2 gun incidents.
I can't imagine what frame of mind i would be in unless i had no legs
It wasn't a mistaken burglar like he expressed,he thinks he could fool the world of that reasoning,yes he intended to kill her
He is wrong. Hi didn’t show remorse. The breakdown was just him realizing that he had ruined his own life.
Pistorious shoots anything that moves in his house when anxious.
even if he didn't kill her on purpose, it was ridiculous of him not to check where she was in the house before firing. extremely poor gun safety
HE KNEW SHE WAS IN THE BATH ROOM. 500% HE KNEW.
@@nereidatorres7613 The evidence produced in court - or lack thereof - clearly indicated that he didn't know.
Disgusting! That monster should never be released.
Agree.reeva isn't going to rise from her grave just because he got parole.
Disgraceful! He's a cold blooded killer! An entitled prat with a very nasty temper. This is Not justice for Reva at all. My heart weeps for her family. 💔
Theres logic! You don't shout "who's in there?" Come on! Anybody with a logical mind knows it was intentional. I'm shocked and saddened that he's out
I thought he was another spoiled brat celebrity, and was sure he had just bumped her off...... Until i watched the trial. From all the evidence i listened to my mind set completely changed.
Yes he killed her.
Yes i believe he thought it was an intruder and he felt vulnerable and unable to protect them both, so he took drastic measures
South African OJ
Yes
The other case is NOT similar, because Oscar had anger issues and evidence was given in the trial regarding this matter and his trigger happiness.
That’s stupid. Hope he don’t kill any other beautiful innocent human. 😢
Just the ugly ones
11:35 Thank you for a very good perspective from someone who followed the case very carefully. My thoughts and prayers are with Oscar Pistorius and late Reeva Steenkamp family through this journey of his life.
He literally got away with murder
For goodness sake.Not one person thinks he didnt murder Riva.
Obviously he murdered her.
I mean you can't say it's a little weird the bathroom door was locked. I've been with my girl for a minute and i can't ever remember her ever closing the bathroom door
Absolute intent .. she was dumping him because of domestic abuse .. hes a jealous man .. not got a leg to stand on in mho
I can say it....he definitely killed her on purpose on some type of rage. The motive was his jealousy and controlling behavior. There was no "video" of that but it is rather obvious - just could prove it "enough". He got off cheap.
Is this man the most gullible man alive? No wonder Oscar to him out to lunch!
Also, the idea that if it was somebody other than a beautiful model who'd been shot then public opinion would've been on Oscar's side is delusional. The reason public opinion is against him is because we all saw the trial too! Oh, and the saying... _"it's not what you know, it's what you can prove"_ certainly applies to Pistorius.
How?
I think because of whom Oscar Murdered, he won’t be walking around like the Cocky fella he was, because he had $$ and was an athlete… Wouldn’t surprise me if someone gets to him.
Still karma works..
If he cant control his temper' he will be back in prison. Time will tell!!!
He has destroyed the life of his friend and family! Also his own life
10 years and out?
Who are you all to judge Oscar. If God has forgiven him. Who are you to say these horrible things about him. Shame on you. God spent time with all people even murderers.
Yes I agree!! I prayed to God for his release!! God is so gracious!!
shut up your ridiculousness....ufff!
Not cool
My wife said "where's he going to leg it too" 😂 I love my wife 😅
People in South Africa who commit murder get life and life without parole.. his case was different... he was found guilty of culpable homicide....and received a less sentence... but the prosecution took it further and it was overturned ans was changed to murder because of dolus eventualis argument
To think the media made out like he was a hero - Oscar PistAllOverUs
He clearly murdered her he executed her when she went to the bathroom stumpy should be in jail for life getting bummed
U would bum a man with one leg u sicko
Yes, still innocent he!
He shouldn’t see daylight.
Has anyone wrote a book about him Normally they write books I read Ted Bunddy, Jeffrey Damar
Who would want to have a life with him.
Those who want to share his money
There are many Reevas out there. Why would a decent girl get involved with a disabled man??? For fame and money of course.
What color where the judges:)
black
But in Sa we do have Town ship Justice :)
Is this a joke?
He was jealous of reeva!
He shouldn't go free
It was assassination
