Olympian Oscar Pistorius Granted Parole, To Be Released In January 2024
Olympian Oscar Pistorius: Olympic and Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius has been granted parole and will be released from prison on Jan. 5. Pistorius was in jail since 2014 for killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
Also Known as “Blade Runner” for his carbon-fiber prosthetic legs, Pistorius won multiple gold medals at the Paralympics and then went on to compete at the London 2012 Olympics. He fatally shot Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013. Reeva, who was 29 when she was murdered, was a law graduate and successful model.
Pistorius was initially jailed for five years in 2014 for culpable homicide by a high court, but the Supreme Court of Appeal in late 2015 found him guilty of murder after an appeal by prosecutors.
