Oscar Pistorius: The Sentence

[OrbitalDawn]

Wtf. They allow murderers to compete internationally? What a bloody arse joke.

He's not a murderer.

What does the gun charge mean, 3years suspended for 5 to run concurrently?

If he's found guilty of a similar crime within 5 years he gets 3 years jail time automatically.

18 years in jail for perlemoen poachers. 5 years for killing a human being.

Don't feel sad, marine.

If he is found guilty on the same crime in the next 5 years he will go to jail for 3 years

Yes, frequently called the Marlene Lehnberg Clause, based on the 'scissor murders' in the 70s.

from, or receive any reward or remuneration directly or indirectly for, any published
account of an offence for which a offender or person subject to community corrections is
serving a sentence.

But since they run concurrently, that's extremely unlikely. Means he'll need to perform reckless/negligent acts with a firearm whilst in prison.

He won't easily sit the 5, though. But yeah, it's quite unlikely.

Is it only whilst they are serving the sentence, or for their rest of their lives, even after they were released?

I have no idea, but I assume it goes beyond their incarceration, as the original case on which its based mentions she planned to do it later.

 

[Candystore]

Oh I also wanted to ask does it mean that these writer writing stories about Oscar, do they need permission?
