Sentencing begins in Pistorius case

Today marks the beginning of Judge Masipa’s sentencing for last year’s Valentine’s Day tragedy that saw Oscar Pistorius shooting and killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

The trial, which has been broadcast live on television (as well as an online audience), has gripped the attention of the world, as everyone anticipates what Oscar’s fate will be.

Just last month, he was found guilty of culpable homicide, but the case of premeditated murder was dismissed.

What do you think the judge will sentence Oscar to? Do you think he will actually see the inside of a prison cell? Leave your comments below. Your opinions will be published in this week’s edition of the Ladysmith Gazette.

Please refrain from criticising the judge in your comments.
