It is vital that justice is administered in some form, evenly & fairly for all.

I think he should do his full time :-( :-(

It has just been announced that the prosecution is to lodge an appeal against what they consider - to be the lenient sentence handed down to Oscar Pistorius.

'Blind Justice'.

I think you may very well be right there Ann :-D :-D

it stinks - and had Oscar been a black S.A. he'd have got the maximum penalty

So, a male footballer can rape, get a few month's in prison and resume their grossly overpaid job.
An athlete can kill and get a few months in prison (I loved the comment ' Prison will kill him' - needing a pee killed Reeva).

Okay he can no longer run, but neither can Reeva,

So much for women in the Western world being equal.

Imagine if the tables had been turned.........

Seriously, the prosecutors are going to appeal?

haven't they been paid enough over this last couple of years?

if they couldn't do their job more efficiently

then they should step down........

ive just got this message on facebook
do you think I should be worried ??? lol


pistorius gets 5 years suspended for 3 years and will serve just 10 months in prison for killing his wife. dont let your lad see the news or your in trouble total bargain

We all expect fair play but not everyone agrees what fair play is.

I do hope so Robert :-D :-D

The SA Prosecutors are considering an appeal against the lenient sentence.

I do to Joy,,,,,,,,hes deep into himself to be over generous with compassion unless for Oscar.

I doubt it our lovely Kay xx :-D :-D

I hope he does the decent thing and doesnt apply for parol and want to serve the full 5 years,if only to show the Steenkamp family he fully accepted sentence....and possibly more.

as muffys just pointed out
he would of done more time for

typing a nasty tweet about the McCanns :-D

Another hot headed sports man who thinks he is above the law

gets away with murder :-( :-(
#
my thoughts are with Reevas family and friend
who have handles this tragedy with dignity

I don't think I could be so generous if it was my child :-( :-(

certainly isn't Sue, but her parents seem satisfied - the sports people have said that he will never ever be allowed to compete in athletics again when he is relesed

Hopefully his incarceration will help clean up the appalling conditions in S.A. prisons

It is 10 months then house arrest.....not exactly justice for Reeva

It will be interesting to see how their prison service cope with his disability - in the wrong hands, prosthetics could easily be considered as weapons.

From the brief interview with a SA legal expert, it would appear that their Supervisory Release can involve house arrest and community service.
