Generally - a convicted person becomes eligible to apply for parole after having spent at least half of their sentence in prison. Effectively- he was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment. Initially, he was sentenced to 6 years imprisonment for a culpable homicide conviction, however, the State appealed such a conviction and sentence and as a result, the Supreme Court of Appeal changed the conviction and sentence to that of murder in 2017.
The famous convicted murderer will be eligible to apply for parole in March of 2023.Ī brief reminder: Oscar fatally shot his girlfriend on valentines day in 2013. Oscar Pistorius might be walking the South African streets again soon - pun intended😜.
