With my experience of SA justice and law, anything can happen, and normally does, depending on what bungs have happened - don't worry, this will be reversed once Pistorius can get his wallet opened.
General feeling in SÀ is that he is eventually getting what he deserves. Thankfully Oscar doesn't have much money left so hopefully no bungs president.

addickfanatic - are you in SA? I'm hearing mixed messages here. Many people saying he can't/won't hack it or he may only end up doing 3 or 4 years at most after it gets reduced (due to time served, special circs etc) and he only has to serve 30%, others saying he'll disappear since he's been given advance warning he'll be arrested until next week. Other people saying he's so broken and can't face going back he's a risk of taking his own life

If only he hadn't taken someone else's first.
According to this bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-36514807, he's 'a broken man'. Not as broken as the woman he murdered though! Get back in your cell!

And her parents and loved ones who are left behind.
I thought the demonstration yesterday of him walking around without his prosthetic legs was a rather belated attempt to garner more sympathy for the defendant. If it made him appear vulnerable, well, Reeva in the bathroom with shots coming through the door was clearly much more entitled to claim that word, in my opinion. She lost her life as a result of that "vulnerability." Pistorius overcame huge odds to become a sporting icon, BUT he killed someone recklessly.
I can't help feeling the terror as the beautiful Reeva, hid in the bathroom from a man with anger management issues and a history of firing guns in a reckless manner whether in restaurants or cars. Even now he only cares about his self. I really hope her mum and Dad see Justice done and he goes to prison for 15 years. It can't bring a loved one back but at least he won't be free to breath natures air.
The bloke has no shame. Total self serving arrogance and not even any attempt to hide it. Look at poor me walking around with no legs, "I don't want to waste my life in prison", "Reeva wouldn't want me put in prison"..... The bloke is sickening.

Justice served
Sorry.
I can't help wondering if ten years is, in actual fact, justice. If someone killed my son I think ten years would be way too lenient a punishment.

The man does not deserve to see the outside of a cell ever again.
I've seen a reporter tweet that there are many confused looks in the court room.
