MASIPA REJECTS HOUSE ARREST
Judge Thokozile Masipa rejected a suggested sentence of house arrest and community service for paralympian Oscar Pistorius in the High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday.
"The sentence suggested by Mrs Vergeer and Mr Maringa would not be appropriate," Masipa read while sentencing Pistorius for the culpable homicide of Reeva Steenkamp.
Masipa sentenced Pistorius to five years for Reeva's death.
He was also sentenced to three years, suspended for five years, for firing a pistol under a table at Tasha's restaurant in Johannesburg in January 2013.
The sentences would run concurrently.
Parole officers Annette Vergeer and Joel Maringa, testifying for the defence, had suggested three years of correctional supervision and 16 hours of community service a month for Pistorius.
On September 12 Masipa found Pistorius guilty of the culpable homicide of model and law graduate Steenkamp, but not guilty of her murder. Pistorius had claimed he thought there was a burglar in his toilet when he fired four shots through the locked door in the early hours of February 14 last year, killing Steenkamp.
Masipa found Pistorius guilty of discharging a firearm in public, when he shot from his friend Darren Fresco's Glock pistol under a table at Tasha's restaurant in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, in January 2013.
Pistorius was found not guilty on two firearms-related charges -- illegal possession of ammunition, and shooting through the open sunroof of a car with his 9mm pistol while driving with friends in Modderfontein on September 30, 2012.

Get up, getting my gun and start looking for intruders behind my closed doors with NO intention to kill.

Humble pie? I think him getting away with murder means that pie is for your sir. Either way I hope he kills himself now, that will annoy way more people.

The British media is calling the jail where he is off to, a hell-hole.

No he is on bail, he will be asked to report. He won't go to jail now.
Edit: only saw now. Straight to the holding cells - I apologise.

Exactly, and what will everyone do about it? Oscar has been a violent, aggressive 4hole for all his life. His girlfriend fights with him, he shoots her dead - and goes to jail for 10 months. How much FU can that guy possible give all of you that deeply wants to see him in jail forever?
Does it hurt? Maybe next time a high profile case comes along you'd be better off if you mind your own business and start knitting or playing lego with yourself.

All those whining about five years being to little, did you actually follow the court proceedings? Especially the bit where the prosecution asked for 8 years? The judge was never going to go with a 12-15 year sentence after Nel only asked for 8.

Hey 5 years is no party. He will feel each and every day in jail. He would probably not be in there for a year though.

Yip, too lenient sentence, he will be out in under 10 months and will be under "house arrest".
