Oscar extortionist jailed

[schumi]

Pretoria - The man who attempted to extort money from disgraced Paralympian Oscar Pistorius to make his murder conviction disappear was on Monday sentenced to an effective four years in jail.

Tshifhiwa Radzhadzhi, 30, appeared in the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria. He had been in custody since March following his arrest.

Radzhadzhi was sentenced to eight years, four of which were suspended, for impersonating a National Prosecuting Authority official. He was further sentenced to four years under correctional supervision for fraud.

Extortion is a crime on its own. But I get your point. It looks like he's going to spend less than 12 months in jail.

Joke of a system.

I can't see how what this guy did was extortion. Extortion is the action of obtaining something through force or threats. I don't see any mention of force used or any threats leveled at Oscar Pistorious.

Been stuck in awaiting trial cells since March, that must have been rather harrowing, not that I'm overly concerned!
