The following was what she considered before imposing her sentence.
1. Culpable homicide - 5 years in prison
2. For the Tasha shooting which he was found guilty for - 3 years in prison, wholly suspended for 5 years with conditions. The two sentences will run concurrently. His family is not planning to appeal.
He will serve a minimum of 10 months in jail, after that, he'll be sent home to serve the remainder of his sentence under strict supervision controls. This will be up to South African Correction Services.
What do you guys think of this sentence? Too light, severe or appropriate?

That is too small for his crime.

Sometimes I just wonder how this our world is.
5 years for killing someone? Surely, we can't quantify life, but 5 years is too small
ONLY??????~shocked~ dis idiot deserves worst mehn......murderer!!!
He was lucky not to have gotten more years.
Your comment will be visible after approval
Phew! I don't know how I feel about the sentence, I'm just indifferent.

Fair enough
Finally
BORN TO SHINE!!!
for real?????
hmmm...that gurl really died for nothing.
Justice well served all the same even though it wont bring back the dead!
Gud punishment 4 d deed,not too harsh not too soft. #kellywester#

Crap!
Too bad for d lad... so pathetic
Too bad for d lad.. social pathetic
Na wa...

LIBers, A lesson

Rili? That's a light sentence in my opinion. 'Sigh'
Good for him "tongue out"
Sorry dude
Bought judgement.
Jst 5 yrs??? Am dumbfounded! ...#SeunLondon
It can still be appealed..ik1881
May God punish that judge and jury bastards that's why I like naija justice sometimes this murderer wuda been in kirikiri prison for ANODA 100yrs .
I think the judgement is fair enough for a man who murdered his girlfriend (A human being), intentionally or unintentionally. I wish his career doesnt go into shambles cus of dis
Justice most times don't go the way we think.....
Too Light! Haba! They shoulda given him like 30yrs or sumtyn! Chai, Poor Reeva!
Its been a long Journey. I was even tensed while watching the Judge explaining. I must commend that judge. She listened to everyone involved and also the public. Her pronouncement is mild and understandable
the law has spoken@jp
Too small, but it shows that he is guilty .
Good for him "tongue out"
As expected since murder and manslaughter charges were dropped weeks back. He played out a good script. Sad that the girl's family didn't get justice
5 pere... oga o
It's too light please.
Don't wanna speak my mind. Ça va?
Fair enough......
Yeah sure too light... I think he deserves more than dat.
too light joor!
What can I say? This judgement has been ongoing for over a year now. If the guy actually committed homicide, then this sentence is way too light.
Too light for a murder case
Bullshit dis judgement is too light....he killed someone for crying out loud
Most people and even me will see this judgement as very light but the issue of law its sometimes not as we really see or think. Depends on the evidience on ground and the strenght of his lawyer that greatly determines the judgement.
Why 5years imprisonment.i am expecting life imprisonment.murderer
Pure Wickedness! Guy leaks private video of university girl because she was rude to him
Are u serious??
He will be sent home to serve the remaining after spending 8 months in jail
Thats unfair
Tot they will give him life
Na wa o
Omg this so unfair... may God console the family becos even if life sentence it can't bring the girl back..yet the justice system is to be questioned. and damn he had a goood lawyer.
FREAKING TO LIGHT
Inappropriately too light
He got jst 5yrz fr killin abi? Africanz will nva change.....he shuld b lockd up fr live... Y will his family appeal wen dey kw he dd it.
~@iamjbankz SA to President Jonathan 2015~
Not fair o! Join Nigeria's #1 Christian Community
severe
For killing anoda person? Too light jor mtsscheww!
It's too small but d guy is a broken man already, n he has been remorseful from day1.. I feel for him sha
Very light.
its okay for me.am sick and tired of this case biko.
The work of a smart lawyer
Na waa oo
I really think it's okay. He's been thru enof trauma to last him forever
Too light! That guy killed that girl in cold blood! She's fucking guilty! He shoulda gotten the chair! Tsk! Just 8 months! Imagine! He might think he's gotten away with it now, but he will do it again. Ya'll wait and see.
Too light! Very light and he can get parole after 11 months or less! For killing someone under undefined circumstance?!!! Come on!!!
Please stop inciting people,it's okay,let this guy be.
Too light
It's a fair sentencing.
I believe the judgement was mild, and the judge was magnanimous enough.
I expected more Buh that is how things can be influenced... Though better than Nigeria Judiciary who would ve taken forever to preside over the case. We are yet to gain Independence.
He should be thankful...hope it is with hard labour? Lindodo my crush
I think is appropriate
This is sooooo unfair honestly from my personal point of view.
Really dont know, I have always been careful with what I say about this case, Only God knows what happened.
Dude just got away with murder. SA I hail una o
Not bad. i think its fair
too light
This is rubbish... first they argued out of murder to man slaughter saying they couldn't prove it was premeditated
now just 5 years when i expected 30 years to life?
To light? lets hope people won't start killing their partners expecting the Pistorious treatment
Way too light
Too light! CEO of Total Oil killed in plane crash
The sentence is fair....Cuz why must we kill people, who kill people, to show that killing is wrong? He doesn't necessarily nEed a death sentence to show that what he did was wrong. QUESTION FOR THE JUDGES IN COURT: If killing is a bad act itself, why do we kill people, who kill people to show that killing is wrong?
Hmm
He killed her
See what anger can do
So sorry for him sha
Give years,is like two years in prison terms
Make impact while there and hope gangsters don't kill him there sha cos the gang leaders are issuing death threats to him and castrating his manhood..oh poor Oscar, you messed up your beautiful life, Devil can make and break you within minutes...Rest in peace Reeva
Way too light if you ask me. I think he should be made to serve the full 5 years at the least. This is a smack on the wrist for killing a human being.
Too freaking Light! Corruption @ its Best!
Mtschewww..This is not justice!
Left 2 me linda...oscar deserves more than dis 5yrs given 2 him...
fair
That means I can murder now....afterall is just five years sentence!
Very annoying wen I watched it, I was xpting life sentence for d stupid cripple idiot
Way too light if you ask me. I think he should be made to serve the full 5 years at the least. This is a smack on the wrist for killing a human being.
Crasy judge I see bribe involve.
Approciate.
only???? anyways God already punished him.....Limblessmurderer...some people deserve what happens to them...God had seen the murderer he would be...and made him that way....Linda publish my comment oooo!!!
Hmmmmm. No value for human life in this world of ours. 5years? It is well.
Its appropriate. He didn't intend to kill. All those running deir mouths. Imagine losing 5 yrs of ur life
.....after that he MAY be sent ...
U must b stupid...
The fact that it wasn't murder but culpable homicide changed the whole thing. Also, disability removed like 2 years in my opinion. Then, being a well known figure finished the rest of the story. That's my layman's view. But all what the judge said made sense. If not for his fame, I'm sure any judge would have been happy to give him 12 years for culpable homicide. Because na murder but no proof.
God in his infinite mercy should help both family, to forget the lost and move forward and forget about the fast, there is a room for forgiveness in Life. God help him and may he turn a new leaf why in prison, God Should protect his Life for better 2trom to work for God in his vineyard, May her soul rest in peace forever in Jesus Name (Amen)

I know it will be this way! he is not black..had it been its black man they will hammer his 25 years in jail! imagine,he will spend just 10 months in jail...nawaooo!
Anybody when dem kill na eat and go o. See wetin the guy get? 5 years. The judge impress me sha. When the guy finish im 5 years prison/ house arrest term, e go too old to run, so na to write book. For the book e go avoid talking about what really happened but e go talk other things when go let people buy; so dat e nor go go dey do train cleaner work to make ends meet!
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. ECC 8:11
The truth is just that, they took too much from him or probably all of is fortune and been able to afford all that you don't expect him to be locked up forever, i knew the judgement will go down this way. #Cashruleseverything
Wow! His lawyers were good, very very good! Cos every1 knows he killed dat poor girl in cold blood!
cherrykoko
Only 5years!! My o my
Kai.
Only? na person wey die na him lose
Too lite biko.The lady just die4nothing.May her soul rest in peace.If anoda world dey she will never meet you devlish oscar.
The judge did her best, following her explanations.... prison time is quite uplifting and giving a bit sense that justice was served. even though not long as most thought it should go. But God is the ultimate judge.
Na wa
Obviously he killed his girlfriend. But i think the whole thing is alot more complicated than we thinks.Though guilty but i feel like it was an accident.
THE JUDGEMENT IS IN ORDER
So after all the grammer she spoke before the sentencing, she let him go. Na wa.
Obviously the dead girl will get sympathy everywhere but lord knows women are the real devil on this earth!
@ Linda, OMG!!! Lesson for all U... male or female in any form of abusive relationtionship...Take to Ur heels as far and as fast as it will carry U!!!
If Ur heels & heart fail U speak out, reach out cum seek help!!!
Oscar practically got away with MURDER!!!
Truth may hurt, friends may deceive or fail U but LOVE DOES NOT HURT!!!
#Think! #UnfairJudgement!
@ Bonario, be quiet sometimes! U'd not be indifferent if U were her Dad, brother or relative! But stay been human & learn about empathy!!!
''10 months in jail, after that, he'll be sent home to serve the remainder of his sentence''
Money speaking!
His offence more jail terms.
Unfair judgement...
Too short
Way too light! If na dog he kill, they go give am like 30 yrs! God help and comfort Reevas family.
U people should stop critiscising de guy cuz he never knew dat it waz her gf who waz coming 2 his bathroom. He did cuz he thought it waz a burglar who waz tring 2 kill him. So u people should stp critiscising him lyk dat. 2 tell u de truth if I waz de judge I will only sentence him to ony year imprisonment........gosh!!!!
He suppose to serve at least 10yrs, 5yrs?, and now we're saying 10months and remaining at home, Linda that's not fair on the girl's family, if at all he committed the murder anyway .
At least something, i know he probably spend a few months and get out.
Fuck that judge
Lesson to Learn...If some like Davido Kills u, Oboy, U have died for nothing cos if SA go fit do dis kind thing, wethin Naija go do?
It pays to have a good lawyer
On the overrall,we cant see the missing link,even though the sentence was light.
Fortunedexcel
shut d hell up!!!...#u hav to knw d reason for wat he did b4 saying trash!
What??? Just five years, I want a life sentences for him, what the hell is wrong with the jury, judge and south Africa Government "hiss" #michelleegbegbedia@gmail.com
Even if he was given 100yrs d dead 'll not wake up...buh to me he was lucky to a gotten 5yrs...olubukola daniels aka blackmamba...
Too light. benotekcomputes@gmail.com
*he's
I dnt knw 4 sure if he delibrately killed her nd jes like bonario said, i feel indifferntly 2.
Remorseful or has been playing out a script?? Think he should get a minimum of 10 years,though not even life can bring back d dead..
Gosh....This is disgusting,it irritate me,cos I don't know what these people are taking us for,u people found some1 guilty of killing,still yet u guys turn the law upside down.....well may God av mercy on us sha.....................GOD NIGERIA..........pelumiboy8@gmail.com
Fair enough? ???? You must be kidding me. Fair enough for murder? ?? And no one should tell me that rubbish of it being culpable homicide cuz that was murder in broad daylight...I blame the prosecution for not being able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the bastard actually murdered Reeva...and did I just read right. ..His sentences will run concurrently. ..what the freaking frack for? ?? Damn!!!!
Hmm, nah for all of us to go kill our spouses na, and plead mistake. Nah wah o. To be white (even indian brown sef)in a predominantly black country, come from rich family nah blessing without disguise. Shame on the black continent's justice system. Niaja worse pass. Shior!

Make no mistake; it is actually a 10months prison sentence not 5 years. Read the sentencing properly. The 'law' here is a beastly unjust ass(hole)

This is a big lesson for women, if you stay in a relationship with a someone who psycholically or emotionall abuse you, you're on your own. Reeva stayed in a relationship with this manupulative, low-self-esteemed asshole, a she met a brutal death. All he got is a 10month jail term and the rest in the comfort of his home
Sharap dia! Naija my black ass. Naija wey be say paople in high places kill and go scot free. No be Naija one woman for Abuja shot her husband for Wuse point blank for marrying another woman and nothing, I say nothing do the woman. The matter sef no dey court because she be sister to a 'powerful person'. Mshew! Rubbish jusgement

He will only serve 10 months and then the rest at home???hmm tooooo lenient mehn..
"He will serve a minimum of 10 months in jail, after that, he'll be sent home to serve the remainder of his sentence under strict supervision controls"
He's spending 10 months in jail for murder... That is injustice. Either he meant it with malice or not. A life is lost due to his actions. Anyways my Lord is a forgiving God, he knows your heart and he will ultimately be your judge
Am happy for him, thank God he will not spend the rest of his life in jail.
2 small
2 small
Am happy for him, thank God he will not spend the rest of his life in jail.
I knew twas gon be like this...arrgh!...maybe d judges ain't capable of doing justice to d matter,sure God will.
Dis all crap...
It's appropriate
This is bull shit! To think that injustice only exists in Nigeria.
Plz it is not fair in any way if its intentional... am just ok with the judgement because he has cried so hard, kept confessing of how sorry he was and how unintentional it was.. like an evil spirit entered him that night.. so its fair for him.. But Mr it is in no way fair for anyone who intentionally took someone out of the earth biko
Finally
Just 5yrs, I am in shock.
I think an award would be more appropriate here. Why 5 years for killing another human being. Give him an award, o jare!
The judge was brilliant in the closing remarks preceding the actual sentencing. I would have been ok with the verdict if only he would spend the 5 years in prison.
This can't happen in Nija, even if not guilty. Go ask Arowolo Kolade who got a death sentence for wife's death after dey both stabbed each other, a case of two fighting.
Oscar u re very lucky.
He deserves more. Shocking!
Injustice!!!
Five yrs is fair dou hope next time he will learn to control his anger #onelovefromSnow#
Just 5 years? Not good at all. But that's what happen when you have corrupt system. If he's guilty he'll eventually end up like OJ Simpson. Karma is a bitch!
Am happy. 10 months in prison and the rest at home? this is chilling.
Hmmm........ It's okay.
Hah!!!!!!!! Is there real justice in this world??? That demon followed that girl to the bathroom, calmly fired several shots into the bathroom killing that girl. This was after he put his fake legs on. And now he walks away with only ten months in prison. How much did his family buy the judge with?
Where is justice? When are we going to start having respect for human lives and bring justice on those rich or rich who take this lives in cold blood??
Truly fair enough, the trauma since the court inception was enough punishment, some people might not know how traumatic an offence could be until they are presented to the court of law and people.
5yrs.....I really expected more yrs
I never come on here to curse pple out no matter their opinion, but i am inclined to call you an IDIOT for ur comment. He killed his girlfriend in cold blood! Ended a human life cos he had a temper tantrum and should be spending the rest of his miserable life in prison, and all you can say is thank god he doesnt hve to spend the rest of his life in prison??
You are a senseless idiot!
Before u talk or type rubbish put ursekf in the position of the victims of such brutal crimes first.

Its basically 8 months in jail not 5 yrs
Who told u that arrogant idiot is broken? The same who went clubbing n fighting while his trial was still on going? All that crying puking was fake. I am 100% certain he took something to help him puke all that time in court
Really? How far have you gotten in your life now... Smh. Idiot
Finally but seriously 5 yrs is too small. To think that he'll spending just 10months in jail. What nonsense smtcheeeeeeew
He deserves worst.

STUPID JUDGE.
WE HAVE LONG KNOWN THAT THE LAW APPLIES TO POOR AND RICH DIFFERENTLY!
The judge was just too lenient. what results would you have expected from a scenario involving a handicap and a female?
I was expecting a minimum of ten years
RAPE OF JUSTICE! Mockery of African judicial system.
Nonsense!!! This judges re encouraging murder!! 5 yrs for killing a human soul? Ok! Till it gets to the judges themselves... God save my family nd loved ones from such wicked people.
Me too
This is soooooo unfair....my personal opinion anywaz
That sentence is in itself a grievous crime. how come you get 25 years for killing a rhino in south africa and 5 years for killing a human being. This is some sick twisted joke i guess.
just terribly light! please everyone in an abusive relationship should just leave it already. it's just too tragic for her parents, to watch your daughter's killer walk around a free man!!
just terribly light! please everyone in an abusive relationship should just leave it already. it's just too tragic for her parents, to watch your daughter's killer walk around a free man!!
Only 5 years? Shocking! only?
For all of you defending Oscar, I pray you never lose your loved ones in their prime whether the killer did it intentionally or not
Its dat perception dat says black people r more violent, even in a black african country d whites stil got dat edge.. if it were a black man, dnt get it wrong... its 25yrs to life....
Nd dey wuldnt appeal cos they knw its a gud deal... atleast I wuldnt...
He deserves more than 5years..
Question for the Gods
it is ur mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother and future daughters if u dont have already that are devils on earth stupid anon 10.51.
5 years for killing a soul??African judicial system is in shambles!! God will deliver us from the snare of the evil doers!!
Since he doesnt have legs he decided to use his two nasty hands to practise hw to use a fireman. I wish reeva could appear and strangle him to death before d 10 months. Anyway reeva must have been so materialistic that she tolerated this mistaken white hegoat as a boyfriend. Everything abt him including hie existence is a mistake. Even if reeva wasnt in the toilet his intention was to kill without mercy. Hw needs an acid bath
Even from his name oscar pistle reeva should have known that everything abt him and his family are pistlelike. I just wish his arms were amputated too. Murder celebrity
