Firstly, he shouldn’t be out. But how in the world do they come up with parole conditions like he has to attend anger management etc? Surely he should have done this BEFORE leaving prison.
Right now he's on parole. If he's able to somehow not commit crimes in that period, he'll be completely out. Otherwise, he'll just go straight back in prison, so perhaps the judges and the jury who they're supposed to be accountable, they still are. It's now their responsibility.
@@yingzezhu9777Depends on what your idea of justice is. If it was your loved one murdered in cold blood rest assured you’d want them locked up for the rest of their wicked life.

Wow😢. 11 years ago. Time has really passed away so fast. I remember when me and my now late mum followed this case. We were really shocked because we used to see him as one of our role models
He shouldn’t have killed her, she locked the door for godsakes. And shot her 4 times that’s a lot, you go check on your partner to see if they are there or not! He took away someone’s daughter, a human life and ruined his career. I was utterly shocked honestly when I heard what he did in 2013 and I met him just after the Paralympics in london. He seemed like such a nice guy, but on the flip side he wasn’t. You can’t condone killing someone, you just can’t.
Everyone is so focused on Oscar and what he did because he is a recognized figure... meanwhile all around the worls so many men and women have their lives taken from them and no one bats an eyelid or gets media attention... Everyone's energy should be focused on channeling a better society instead of channeling hate ro certain individuals

You all have soo much to say about Oscar, worry about the hundreds of murderers that are still out there and not even been looked for by your wonderful government, what an absolute circus!!!
There is nothing outstanding about his release, it’s normal for people to be released on probation in SA. Aside from that Oscar had no history of violence before his arrest for the murder of Reeva. So the friends claim that he is a danger to the public is surprising
There are two sides to every story. People need to leave him alone now, and respect the decision of correctional services. There is more to this story than the media makes out.
Oh nonsense. It is obvious you have the bits n bobs you want from your outlook. Do proper research in regards to your comment. Are you on something dear
@@lesegomashifane1935 No, all I know about this tragedy is what I learned from the media. But I do get the feeling that the full story has not come out. Having said that, of course I realize that what he did was horrific and absolutely required a sentence of incarceration.
Absolute miscarriage of justice. But typical of justice in the new South Africa, the prison service broken like all state institutions. Inadequate sentences, and mass early parole at the end of every year due to overcrowding. As a serving police officer I was shot by two armed men who had committed multiple armed robberies and murders. One was later shot dead by police during another armed robbery, and the other was sentenced to twenty years. After only serving a few years he was mistakenly granted parole due to an “administrative error” The court then ruled that he could not be placed back into incarceration as it would infringe his right to the freedom he had mistakenly been granted.
Sir everything you have mentioned i can find similar miscarriages of justice in many countries including US, where do think this perfect system exist?? Its MAN MADE!!!
It's not uncommon in many Western countries. Including the UK and Europe. Probably not South Africa. People only care about this because it is high profile.
@@paul7TM I care about it whether it’s high profile or not. This should never be allowed whoever it is. It’s totally disgusting and sends the wrong message.
How do you know that he has no regrets. He apologised many times to Reeva's parents, the world and the shooting was the worst thing that happened in his life. We know that does not bring her back, and that the loss of a life and the hurt of her parents were not lessened. Why compare him to OJ? OJ was not convicted at all!!! Let God be the judge. So many murders are taking place in the most gruesome ways in SA and in other countries and many of those killers are still free.!!! Enough is enough.
Yes, but judging by the way he looks now. He doesn’t seem to have remorse for taking her life. It really disappoints me that he will be able to live a good part of his life free. Much longer than Reeva ever got to 😢
Who says crime don’t pay , all y’need is patience 👍. Prison wasn’t justice, not for the victim or her family , or for the taxpayers who have gave him food and shelter for 11 years .
And he will now a novel/book and earn hundreds of thousands of rands! Sad that the South African judicial system is so messed up! Perhaps he should join a gang...very few get arrested or do jailtime for henious cimes in SA.
His story was so obviously bogus, I don't understand how people were fooled by it. He found he was alone in bed and then noticed that somebody was in the toilet - the obvious conclusion to be drawn was that his girlfriend was in there. This is the kind of experience that anybody who shares a bed with a partner has had. I'm sure that in fact they had a row, he grabbed his gun and threatened her and she ran and locked herself in the first room she came to, unfortunately one that was too small for her to hide out of range of the bullets. He then killed her in pure blind rage. He should be locked up for at least 20 years more and have a lifetime ban on owning weapons of any kind.
Well said!💯💯 The story was so ridiculous and clearly not feasible, yet clowns defend this murderer simply because he’s famous! How do you shoot 4 times blindly through a door? If an intruder was in fact in the bathroom (unlikely), why not shoot once to incapacitate him or duh, lock the ‘intruder’ in the bathroom and call the police? If you have the ‘intruder’ trapped in the bathroom, why you have to shoot 4 TIMES? 4 TIMES? Sounds like overkill. A trapped person in a bathroom isn’t a threat, so why the need to shoot 4 times? Plus you live in an apartment with another damn person. If he woke up and he noticed the girlfriend not in his bed, wouldn’t he assume the ‘noise in the bathroom’ could possibly be the girlfriend? My question if he had kids, does he assume every noise is an intruder? Kids roam around at night. Would he shoot his own kids? Probably not! But he shot his girlfriend! Weird!
People are shocked to see a man being freed after serving 11 years in prison, meanwhile in my country the guy who killed almost 17000 is now the prime minister of our country for the second time.😢
He should be still in prison for the murder of his girlfriend, he doesn’t deserve to be out. This same situation is happening in Canada where murderers are charged with second degree murder and put down to manslaughter. My son was stabbed 37 times by his neighbor who used 3-10 inch knives breaking 2 off in his back, he was given 7 years and with time served went down to 5 years 2 months. He only served 2 years 3 months. He was given parole and he finished it in July 2023. My son was a teacher and a father of a 5 month old son. It’s disgusting how the laws have changed more for the murderer than the victims. 😡😡😡
I love how everyone in the comments is raging like brainless sheeple here, yet they don't consider that Pistorius's version of events can be true. Nobody paid attention to one, very important, and particular testimony of June, and the second testimony of Pistorius' friend. Hear me out, I've been following this case since day 1. Pistorius always maintained that he thought there was an intruder in the bathroom, and home invasion by a stranger was always his biggest fear, which made him paranoid since he doesn't wear his prosthetic legs when he sleeps, so he feels defenseless, and the person in the bathroom stayed silent, plus he just woke up, was disoriented but scared, and in the heat of the moment, he shot through a bathroom door. If you actually watched and listened to two, particular testimonies and documentaries about this case, you would know that there is a very big possibility, that Pistorius was telling the truth. One is called 'Why Oscar Pistorius killed our daughter?' - in this documentary, June, Reeva's mother, is telling the story of how when Reeva was a young girl, there was an invasion in their home, and June was alone with Reeva because her husband and Reeva's father was not there at that time, and when the strangers were ransacking the place, both women hid in the bathroom! - yes, bathroom, from all places, and stayed silent until the attackers didn't leave. That's how they survived the ordeal, and that was their strategy of survival. I mean - chills! The similarities to the Pistorius case here are chilling. In the second documentary/testimony, Pistorius's friend said that there was one time when he was staying with Pistorius, in his house, and suddenly, in the middle of the night, there was a loud noise, and it turned out, Pistorius got scared because the cooling fan fell over in the living room, Pistorius thought someone was breaking in and ran out of his room with a gun ready to fire, and in another case, he even shot! And this is a fact - I remember that the media even quoted the Instagram post when Pistorius himself wrote about this accident on his social media, when it happened, way before Reeva's death. So what does all this mean? Well, it proves that Reeva had a history of hiding in bathrooms and remaining silent during a likely home invasion, and Pistorius had a tendency to use weapons in self-defense, in a rush of adrenaline. And this is exactly what Pistorius claimed happened: he woke up and was still groggy, he wasn't thinking straight, he didn't notice that Reeva wasn't in bed, Reeva went to the bathroom to pee, but suddenly she heard Pistorius calling out to her to hide because someone was in the house, so she froze in silence, in the bathroom, and didn't say a word, as she did in the past. So Pistorius, tragically, didn't understand that she was in the bathroom, he thought it was the attacker, and he shot through the door. Everything fits perfectly with what they both have done in the past. And no one talks about it! And this is very, very likely. Even if we look at the circumstances: Reeva arrived at Pistorius's apartment all cheerful and happy, there is zero evidence that anything bad happened between them, why would he kill her on purpose? The prosecutor NEVER proved this was a conscious murder, there simply was no evidence of this. It does not make sense. And Pistorius' version, if one really followed the details, makes a lot of sense! In my opinion, Pistorius always told the truth about what happened, it was a tragic misunderstanding - not a cold-blooded murder.
Complete bs! You just contradicted yourself. 🙄🤡 So if the girlfriend has a ‘history’ of hiding in the bathroom (which is a dumb statement) then Oscar SHOULD NOT have shot blindly in the bathroom! Idiot! If he knows she gets scared and hides in a bathroom, why shoot blindly into a bathroom? And why the excessive 4 shots? How are you shooting someone 4 times and unsure of WHO YOU ARE SHOOTING? That doesn’t make sense! If he really thought it was an intruder, shoot once or twice to incapacitate the ‘intruder’ and then open the door to see who it is. He shot 4 times with the intent to KILL! His girlfriend!
Let's say it's likely true, but why shoot 4 times across the room in the first place? I presume one shot would've been a sufficient warning to the intruder. Anyways, the number of shots fired to me just feels too personal and he obviously knew who he was shooting at.
What are you smoking? You wrote a whole paragraph rambling about how his accounts "could" be true, based on nothing but your fictious interpretation that Reeva would not answer when her boyfriend calls out to her. bare in mind that Oscar is the one who thinks there are burglars in the house (according to his narrative) and he is calling to her while heading to the bathroom. She has been awake this whole time, she would know that she hasn't heard anyone break into the house. She is the one with the most awareness of the situation. There is no reason she would be silent, you have fabricated a narrative out of thin air. And if anything, this is just as much an argument against Oscar's defence... It demonstrates that the bathroom was a place to AVOID burglars not find them, and that Reva has past experience of using the bathroom/toilet to hide from danger (like for example potentially hiding from a husband getting violent/dangerous). It also means that Oscar blindly fired shots into a room that he knows has been used as a hiding spot by Reeva to hide from home intruders, while under the belief that his home is being intruded.. Not to mention that you are also leaving out the witness accounts of the neighbours
What a disgrace this is. The sentence was corrupt and this is criminal. The justice system of a banana republic justice system and all that South Africa is.
He thought the world would be on his side if he said he mistook this precious girl for some dangerous African in the next room. He should rot in prison.
Ok so he did something horrible..he sat for 11 years here's a question how many killed and was let out on bail within months nothing on the news about them stop being hypocrites
The judge who passed the original sentence and the parole board who released this creature should be imprisoned for the remainder of life sentence Pistorius should have served in the first place!!! They have now allowed a killer to walk back into the community!!! It is also disrespectful to the memory of Reeva Steenkamp and has cheated her family of the right to justice that they deserved!!! Absolutely disgusting!!!
Should I or should I not, comment to validate my expression in this matter. Looking at what has taken place reminds me of the O.J. Simpson case where evidence had been mishandled and there was racial bias in the investigation. Should we not consider the fact that very little of Reeva's background and lifestyle was ever mentioned, and yet the whole focus has been entirely on the way she was shot. Should we not question the reason behind the incident, and accordingly be of judgment of the case but not the people involved. Nobody can ever say what happened exactly based on evidence claimed by the court, only he will know that.
You are telling me he went to sleep with Reeva by his side, woke up, didn't notice Reeva wasn't beside him but heard a noise from the bathroom, and decided to shoot instead of calling her name at least?

He must spend the rest of his life in prison our justice system is stuffed
Firstly, he shouldn’t be out. But how in the world do they come up with parole conditions like he has to attend anger management etc? Surely he should have done this BEFORE leaving prison.
Will the individuals who decided to release the killer be accountable for his next crime?
Exactly- If the people who allowed him out of jail served the same time as he gets for his next crime - they’d think twice.
Right now he's on parole. If he's able to somehow not commit crimes in that period, he'll be completely out. Otherwise, he'll just go straight back in prison, so perhaps the judges and the jury who they're supposed to be accountable, they still are. It's now their responsibility.
Good question! Surely the Parole Board have a Duty Of Care under their Charter!
When the justice system fails, the society starts to fall apart.
It’s not the job of a “justice” system to keep people in prison forever-*that* would be the failure.
@@yingzezhu9777Depends on what your idea of justice is. If it was your loved one murdered in cold blood rest assured you’d want them locked up for the rest of their wicked life.
One of the conditions of his parole is not to install doors in his entire house.
Really where can we get more information on the terms?
I think it,s just the bathroom doors...
No one, apart from the South African Correctional Services and the Pistorius family, has a right to know Oscar Pistorius Parole Conditions. These things are private and confidential.

Disgusting injustice for that poor girl
I thought UK justice system was bad. What a joke.
I mean, as long as lucy letby gets luxurious conditions and a say whether to come to court or not, then yeah, the UK one is still worse. As long as those pսnks who dragged the poor PC Andrew Harper to his demise and got no consequences even smiled/laughed their аrsеs off on the way to the court, the UK one is worse.
Wow😢. 11 years ago. Time has really passed away so fast. I remember when me and my now late mum followed this case. We were really shocked because we used to see him as one of our role models
Title needs editing to "Oscar Pistorius released on parole 11 years after MURDERING Reeva Steenkamp"
Yes. But DID NOT Serve 11 years. He did less than 8

Of course he is.
He shouldn’t have killed her, she locked the door for godsakes. And shot her 4 times that’s a lot, you go check on your partner to see if they are there or not! He took away someone’s daughter, a human life and ruined his career. I was utterly shocked honestly when I heard what he did in 2013 and I met him just after the Paralympics in london. He seemed like such a nice guy, but on the flip side he wasn’t. You can’t condone killing someone, you just can’t.
So you can kill someone and only serve 11 years. What a joke!

Everyone is so focused on Oscar and what he did because he is a recognized figure... meanwhile all around the worls so many men and women have their lives taken from them and no one bats an eyelid or gets media attention... Everyone's energy should be focused on channeling a better society instead of channeling hate ro certain individuals
It's the apparent injustice of it though, due to his fame he seems to have received a reduced sentence compared to what others would get.

@@jamesbond4810 you are delusional. You are telling me he went to sleep with Reeva by his side, woke up, didn't notice Reeva wasn't beside him but heard a noise from the bathroom, and decided to shoot instead of calling her name at least? How is this normal? If anyone believes his innocence in this obvious situation, they need serious shock therapy to restore their common sense. I don't even need any information about his past or violent nature to understand what has occurred on that day.
Dont forget the Apartheid years when whites could write their own laws. Blacks would not have this soft outcome.
Reeva's family must be devastated. Letting this lying self pitying murderer out after just 11 years, is disgusting!!!!!!!!
Disgraceful . 😡😡
This is really worrying. He's still not confessed? How is that safe?
It's not. At least we know his face. So many others walk among us with evil intent.
Let God be the judge.
Disgraceful that this murderer is free.
You all have soo much to say about Oscar, worry about the hundreds of murderers that are still out there and not even been looked for by your wonderful government, what an absolute circus!!!
There is nothing outstanding about his release, it’s normal for people to be released on probation in SA.
Aside from that Oscar had no history of violence before his arrest for the murder of Reeva. So the friends claim that he is a danger to the public is surprising
There are two sides to every story. People need to leave him alone now, and respect the decision of correctional services. There is more to this story than the media makes out.

He should have never been released, a murderer is free now.
Considering all the men who have been falsely imprisoned by woman, this is a small win Oscar is out and semi free!
yea but this guy wasn't falsely imprisoned lol. this doesn't rectify those cases of falsely imprisoned men, this is just further injustice
When ur uncle is rich and influential!
When rich people do crimes. They go free.
Absolute miscarriage of justice. But typical of justice in the new South Africa, the prison service broken like all state institutions. Inadequate sentences, and mass early parole at the end of every year due to overcrowding. As a serving police officer I was shot by two armed men who had committed multiple armed robberies and murders. One was later shot dead by police during another armed robbery, and the other was sentenced to twenty years. After only serving a few years he was mistakenly granted parole due to an “administrative error” The court then ruled that he could not be placed back into incarceration as it would infringe his right to the freedom he had mistakenly been granted.

Why compare him to OJ? OJ was not convicted at all!!!

So many murders are taking place in the most gruesome ways in SA and in other countries and many of those killers are still free.!!!
Enough is enough.

Yes, but judging by the way he looks now. He doesn’t seem to have remorse for taking her life.
It really disappoints me that he will be able to live a good part of his life free. Much longer than Reeva ever got to 😢
Gender based violence doesn't make any sense, he claims, he did not know she was there behind the door.
OJ simpson springs to mind now that guy got away with 2 murders
The Supreme Court got this one wrong. His story of believing it was an intruder made total sense. It was a terrible tragedy.
Pisstorius only served HALF his sentence for murdering a human being. HALF.
*O.J. Simpson served NONE for murdering two people.*
Imagine being seen as a hero, to the biggest disgrace ever. Say what you want about Lance Armstrong, but he never murdered anybody
Same policy here in Canada. It’s called catch and release!
11 years is not justice
On parole? as a murderer? Horrible
Happens alot more than you might assume.
The pathetic story he gave as an excuse was just another slap in the face to Reevas family.
why released ....
Who says crime don’t pay , all y’need is patience 👍. Prison wasn’t justice, not for the victim or her family , or for the taxpayers who have gave him food and shelter for 11 years .
And he will now a novel/book and earn hundreds of thousands of rands! Sad that the South African judicial system is so messed up! Perhaps he should join a gang...very few get arrested or do jailtime for henious cimes in SA.
His legal fees bankrupted him so his legal team got rich and he served 11 years in prison and will always be known for reava murder

What a Shame 🫢He should be in jail for life time .
An absolute disgrace he's free 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
His story was so obviously bogus, I don't understand how people were fooled by it. He found he was alone in bed and then noticed that somebody was in the toilet - the obvious conclusion to be drawn was that his girlfriend was in there. This is the kind of experience that anybody who shares a bed with a partner has had. I'm sure that in fact they had a row, he grabbed his gun and threatened her and she ran and locked herself in the first room she came to, unfortunately one that was too small for her to hide out of range of the bullets. He then killed her in pure blind rage. He should be locked up for at least 20 years more and have a lifetime ban on owning weapons of any kind.
Well said!💯💯 The story was so ridiculous and clearly not feasible, yet clowns defend this murderer simply because he’s famous! How do you shoot 4 times blindly through a door? If an intruder was in fact in the bathroom (unlikely), why not shoot once to incapacitate him or duh, lock the ‘intruder’ in the bathroom and call the police? If you have the ‘intruder’ trapped in the bathroom, why you have to shoot 4 TIMES? 4 TIMES? Sounds like overkill. A trapped person in a bathroom isn’t a threat, so why the need to shoot 4 times?
Plus you live in an apartment with another damn person. If he woke up and he noticed the girlfriend not in his bed, wouldn’t he assume the ‘noise in the bathroom’ could possibly be the girlfriend? My question if he had kids, does he assume every noise is an intruder? Kids roam around at night. Would he shoot his own kids? Probably not! But he shot his girlfriend! Weird!
11 years and then free after murdering someone in cold blood, what message are you sending people.
Completely disgusting
Only 10 years for killing his girlfriend?
The only person who thinks this is right in any way is OJ Simpson.
this really is south africas oj simpson
When I first heard it, it was reported as an accident. 4 shots couldn’t be an accident

He has applied for First Dates, South Africa.
Bruh is already on the dating app
He should be still in prison for the murder of his girlfriend, he doesn’t deserve to be out. This same situation is happening in Canada where murderers are charged with second degree murder and put down to manslaughter. My son was stabbed 37 times by his neighbor who used 3-10 inch knives breaking 2 off in his back, he was given 7 years and with time served went down to 5 years 2 months. He only served 2 years 3 months. He was given parole and he finished it in July 2023. My son was a teacher and a father of a 5 month old son. It’s disgusting how the laws have changed more for the murderer than the victims. 😡😡😡
I love how everyone in the comments is raging like brainless sheeple here, yet they don't consider that Pistorius's version of events can be true. Nobody paid attention to one, very important, and particular testimony of June, and the second testimony of Pistorius' friend. Hear me out, I've been following this case since day 1. Pistorius always maintained that he thought there was an intruder in the bathroom, and home invasion by a stranger was always his biggest fear, which made him paranoid since he doesn't wear his prosthetic legs when he sleeps, so he feels defenseless, and the person in the bathroom stayed silent, plus he just woke up, was disoriented but scared, and in the heat of the moment, he shot through a bathroom door.
If you actually watched and listened to two, particular testimonies and documentaries about this case, you would know that there is a very big possibility, that Pistorius was telling the truth. One is called 'Why Oscar Pistorius killed our daughter?' - in this documentary, June, Reeva's mother, is telling the story of how when Reeva was a young girl, there was an invasion in their home, and June was alone with Reeva because her husband and Reeva's father was not there at that time, and when the strangers were ransacking the place, both women hid in the bathroom! - yes, bathroom, from all places, and stayed silent until the attackers didn't leave. That's how they survived the ordeal, and that was their strategy of survival. I mean - chills! The similarities to the Pistorius case here are chilling.
In the second documentary/testimony, Pistorius's friend said that there was one time when he was staying with Pistorius, in his house, and suddenly, in the middle of the night, there was a loud noise, and it turned out, Pistorius got scared because the cooling fan fell over in the living room, Pistorius thought someone was breaking in and ran out of his room with a gun ready to fire, and in another case, he even shot! And this is a fact - I remember that the media even quoted the Instagram post when Pistorius himself wrote about this accident on his social media, when it happened, way before Reeva's death. So what does all this mean?
Well, it proves that Reeva had a history of hiding in bathrooms and remaining silent during a likely home invasion, and Pistorius had a tendency to use weapons in self-defense, in a rush of adrenaline. And this is exactly what Pistorius claimed happened: he woke up and was still groggy, he wasn't thinking straight, he didn't notice that Reeva wasn't in bed, Reeva went to the bathroom to pee, but suddenly she heard Pistorius calling out to her to hide because someone was in the house, so she froze in silence, in the bathroom, and didn't say a word, as she did in the past.
So Pistorius, tragically, didn't understand that she was in the bathroom, he thought it was the attacker, and he shot through the door. Everything fits perfectly with what they both have done in the past. And no one talks about it! And this is very, very likely. Even if we look at the circumstances: Reeva arrived at Pistorius's apartment all cheerful and happy, there is zero evidence that anything bad happened between them, why would he kill her on purpose? The prosecutor NEVER proved this was a conscious murder, there simply was no evidence of this.
It does not make sense. And Pistorius' version, if one really followed the details, makes a lot of sense! In my opinion, Pistorius always told the truth about what happened, it was a tragic misunderstanding - not a cold-blooded murder.
you're off your head mate honestly - have a word with yourself. Get some sleep.
Complete bs! You just contradicted yourself. 🙄🤡 So if the girlfriend has a ‘history’ of hiding in the bathroom (which is a dumb statement) then Oscar SHOULD NOT have shot blindly in the bathroom! Idiot! If he knows she gets scared and hides in a bathroom, why shoot blindly into a bathroom? And why the excessive 4 shots? How are you shooting someone 4 times and unsure of WHO YOU ARE SHOOTING? That doesn’t make sense! If he really thought it was an intruder, shoot once or twice to incapacitate the ‘intruder’ and then open the door to see who it is. He shot 4 times with the intent to KILL! His girlfriend!
Let's say it's likely true, but why shoot 4 times across the room in the first place? I presume one shot would've been a sufficient warning to the intruder. Anyways, the number of shots fired to me just feels too personal and he obviously knew who he was shooting at.
What are you smoking? You wrote a whole paragraph rambling about how his accounts "could" be true, based on nothing but your fictious interpretation that Reeva would not answer when her boyfriend calls out to her. bare in mind that Oscar is the one who thinks there are burglars in the house (according to his narrative) and he is calling to her while heading to the bathroom. She has been awake this whole time, she would know that she hasn't heard anyone break into the house. She is the one with the most awareness of the situation. There is no reason she would be silent, you have fabricated a narrative out of thin air.
And if anything, this is just as much an argument against Oscar's defence... It demonstrates that the bathroom was a place to AVOID burglars not find them, and that Reva has past experience of using the bathroom/toilet to hide from danger (like for example potentially hiding from a husband getting violent/dangerous). It also means that Oscar blindly fired shots into a room that he knows has been used as a hiding spot by Reeva to hide from home intruders, while under the belief that his home is being intruded..
Not to mention that you are also leaving out the witness accounts of the neighbours
He never had a leg to stand on in court.

They have now allowed a killer to walk back into the community!!! It is also disrespectful to the memory of Reeva Steenkamp and has cheated her family of the right to justice that they deserved!!! Absolutely disgusting!!!

My prayers go out to the family and friends of the girl as for him as they say you reap what you sow .
he should have got 25 + years
Taking a life only serving 10 years in jail !
Should I or should I not, comment to validate my expression in this matter. Looking at what has taken place reminds me of the O.J. Simpson case where evidence had been mishandled and there was racial bias in the investigation. Should we not consider the fact that very little of Reeva's background and lifestyle was ever mentioned, and yet the whole focus has been entirely on the way she was shot. Should we not question the reason behind the incident, and accordingly be of judgment of the case but not the people involved. Nobody can ever say what happened exactly based on evidence claimed by the court, only he will know that.
Question the reason for killing your gf? Murder is murder!!
Well key words are USA and South Africa.....with all due respect...
