Oscar Pistorius Guilty of Murder

Oscar Pistorius’ earlier manslaughter verdict has been overturned by a South African appeals court who called the case "a human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions”, finding the Olympic athlete guilty of murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp who he shot four times through a bathroom door, claiming he thought she was an intruder. Pistorius, who is currently under house arrest, will have to return to court to find out his sentence for the up charge. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is fifteen years, but a judge may lower it.
