12 Months inprisonment for taking the life of a young woman?

So the South African Probation Board have announced they will be releasing Oscar Pistorious next week after serving just 12 months of a 5 year sentence for the culpable homicide of Reeva Steenkamp.

It would appear to me that he has served the minimum sentence possible for being responsible for taking the life of another person ( Well at least if they weren't riding a bike at the time of death )

Is it wrong for me to feel that I hope someone shanks the bastard in the showers in the next six days.

Not as much as being shot four times and killed just because you got caught short in the night.

Trouble is is that the sentence served is in line with the South African law.

Main problem was that he was charged with manslaughter and not murder.

According to the telegraph its Jeremy Corbyn's fault.

Exactly, and he could have easily got away without a sentence at all if it were not for the huge publicity.
In 99.999999999% of cases similar to this there would have been no prison because there really wasn't any proof that he killed her intentionally and the main police witness was proven to be a liar in court.

I 100% think he did it in a fit of rage and it was intentional but thats only my thought, and without evidence I was surprised he was even sent to jail.
