The Olympic and Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been
found guilty of culpable homicide for the fatal shooting of his girlfriend
Reeva Steenkamp.
The guilty verdict on the manslaughter charge, a day after
the judge Thokozile Masipa cleared him of murder, means Pistorius could receive
anything from 15 years in prison to a suspended sentence, which would
potentially allow the double amputee a chance to resurrect his sporting career.
The charge of culpable homicide carries a minimum sentence
of a fine, or up to 10 years in prison, according to the discretion of the
judge.
He has been granted extended bail, and will be sentenced October 13.
