3 years after he fatally shot and killed his girlfriend, South African
Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius will now appear in Pretoria’s High
Court in April to face sentencing after the Constitutional Court
dismissed his appeal “for lack of prospects of success" and found him
guilty of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's day in
2013.
The prosecution will argue for a sentence of at least 15 years at next
month’s hearing, a spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority
told SA local news media. The court had stated in its arugment in
papers filed to the Constitutional Court that it was not in the
interests of justice for Pistorius to be allowed to appeal the murder
conviction.
Pistorius already served a year in jail, but was released in October, to
serve the remainder of his term at home, with strict provisions on when
he could leave home and how far he could travel. But now faces 15 years
in jail.
The Constitutional Court ruling was made Wednesday but was made public Thursday.
