Oscar Pistorius to be released next week but will only leave home to attend Church

Oscar Pistorius will only be able to leave his house to go to church when he is freed from jail next week. Oscar who is supposed to be a devout Christian, whose faith is said to have deepened over recent months, must be accompanied on trips to attend mass.

While under “house arrest” at his uncle’s home he will be allowed few visitors, who will have to be approved by the court, and someone will have to shop for him under strict parole conditions the Sunday Mirror can reveal today.

There was an international outcry when it was revealed the Paralympic gold winner will serve just 10 months of a five-year term for killing his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29.

During his trial ­Pistorius, 28, was seen clasping rosary beads and intensively reading the book Breakthrough Prayer: The Power of Connecting with the Heart of God, by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church’s pastor Jim Cymbal.

He is since said to have been studying the Bible.
His release terms mean he will remain a prisoner in his home ahead of an appeal to have his manslaughter conviction overturned.

A mystery donor is said to have offered to help fund the bid, which could lead to a retrial.
A source on the Pistorius legal team said he has been told his release date will either be August 21, 22 or 23.

The source added:
“The appeal court can’t send him back to prison, they can only order a retrial. Is it impossible? No. Is it likely, also no.”
His team say the appeal is based only on a legal issue and nothing to do with the State’s initial version that he wanted to kill Reeva and that he has an uncontrollable temper.

Justice was not served here. He deserves much more than the sentence he got.

When men go beyond limits, God becomes the only fall back option. Hope he learnt well from his mistakes. Life isn't a bed of roses! It can happen to anyone but for the grace of God.

Justice was served according to the law of their land. Others with his verdict receive a suspended sentence with house arrest, he got the highest punishment possible in accordance to their law - incarceration for 10months and the rest of the sentence under house arrest. THAT IS THEIR LAW. The prosecution was not able to show motive for murder to counter his accidental shooting story. Look at facts of a case. Justice is never about fairness but about points of law.

I have never believed this man murdered his girlfriend, I've always thought it was all a sad accident. None was able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he murdered the woman and there was no substantial evidence to contradict his story. The way I see it what would be the injustice is convicting this pistorious guy of murder, since the prosecution couldn't prove beyond reasonable doubt that he murdered the girl. But truth is only God knows what happened that night. Anyway, I wish him the best.

Africa a continent that has little to no value for the life of a woman,I'm just surprised that the same goes for our Caucasian African sisters, how sad that our boyfriends/husbands/partner can pretty much do anything they want to us with little or no consequences,may God give us women the strength to fight for the same rights as the men of our continent, Reeva RIP Oscar has a long history of proven anger & fire arm offences he got away with killing you but I have no doubt he will do it again before he gets his just desserts the only thing that saddens me is his next victim because watch this space Oscar will kill again!

Money makes everything easy. Kill and you'll be asked to go and take care of your health because of the psychological torture you passed through after the killing. Rubbish.
