Oscar Pistorius Up For Parole, Could Be Released From Prison Within Weeks

Oscar Pistorius could be released from prison at the end of this month … the ex-Olympic sprinter is now up for parole in South Africa — 10 years after he eliminated his sweetheart.

A hearing will decrease on March 31, according to Pistorius’ lawyer, Julian Knight … who included that if parole is given throughout the procedures, the founded guilty killer could be out from behind bars that exact same day.

Pistorius has actually finished over half of the 13-year, 5-month sentence that he was offered for shooting and eliminating 29-year-old Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in Feb. 2013.

You’ll recall, Pistorius, a double-amputee nicknamed “Blade Runner,” confessed to shooting her in his South African house — though he declared it wasn’t on function … stating he believed she was a burglar. He was ultimately founded guilty of murder, which was later on updated to murder.

According to The Independent, Steenkamp’s household protests Pistorius’ early release … though South African law will enable Pistorius to seek it however, as wrongdoers in the nation can make an application for parole once they’ve served a minimum of half of their sentences.
