If he was black I'm willing to bet he'd still be inside

Nice to see it is not just the British justice system being an ass.

Journalist on radio 4 said this is very common in SA, incarcerated for 1/6th of sentence and then released into what's known as corrective supervision which whilst not gaol is very very strict and limiting

It's not just happening because he's famous

Common or not, still a stupid justice system.

Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested after fatal shooting.

Yep, justice has now been done I feel.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-34993002

Quote:
Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of murder after a South African appeals court overturned an earlier manslaughter verdict.

He killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February 2013 after shooting her four times through a locked toilet door.

He is currently under house arrest after spending one year of his original five-year sentence in jail.

Pistorius will now have to return to court to be re-sentenced, for murder
Some form of closure for the family of his victim at least.

I think if he was white, poor and from a ghetto he would be locked up forever for killing a beautiful successful white woman. But you're right it wasn't a skin colour issue. It was his status IMO.

Anyway the appeal courts have found him guilty of murder.

Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested after fatal shooting.

South African Justice System seems to have finally prevailed. Pistorius sentence doubled to 13 years, after they found original sentence ‘shockingly lenient’.
