Oscar Pistorius Gets Bail, Set To Be Released From Prison…

Oscar Pistorius is set to be released from jail after spending 12 months. He will be released to house arrest on Tuesday next week.

Pistorius was found guilty in September 2014 of homicide after he fired gunshots through his toilet door to fatally injure his then girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius is however not completely off the hook as the Prosecutors of the Steenkamp case are awaiting an appeal of the previous judgement. They prosecutors want the previous judgement of “culpable homicide” changed to Murder, a charge which may see the “blade runner” return to prison.

The Appeal is set to be heard on the 3rd of November 2015.
