A decade ago, just before Valentine's Day, everything changed on the day he killed his girlfriend.
The former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius is now halfway through his prison sentence and will soon be set for possible parole.
A committee is meeting in Pretoria on Friday to decide whether to release the 36-year-old former stadium king, who has had both legs amputated and was convicted of the February 2013 murder of Reeva Steenkamp, the South African justice department and prison service said.
The decision of the committee, which includes representatives of the prison service, the police and civilians, is expected in the coming days, after deliberation. Under South African law, a convicted person can be granted a suspended sentence once half of his sentence has been served.
Oscar Pistorius, sentenced on appeal to 13 years and 5 months in prison in November 2017, has been eligible since July 2021. His behaviour in detention, his physical and mental state and the risk of re-offending will be scrutinised.

Remind me - why did he kill his hot girlfriend?
I have no idea. I think she was hiding in the bathroom, and he was trying to beat her.
Who cares why...he should hang just for removing one of the hottest girls on Earth.
That’s base.
Shoot, for a minute I thought it said “Jaco Pastorius”, then I remembered... he’s dead.
Oh, gosh, I can’t beleive someone else thought like that.
What a great bass player.
I thought the parole board said he didn’t have a leg to stand on.
The Gypsy's Curse?
How low can you go?

On Oscar Pistorius
He learned his shooting skills from our own senial Joe...”just shoot through the door”.
Now, don’t fret.
Add to that the fact that he sleeps without his legs on and you have a defense worthy of consideration.
If what you say is true, then no person would ever be in his house. He always has a reason to kill them.
Norm MacDonald would not be pleased with this development.
If I had the time I'd tell you of our experiences in a suburb of Johannesburg called Sandton,a very affluent town (there was a Rolls Royce dealership a hundred yards from our hotel).An armed camp? Yup! It looked like how I assume our compound in Bhagdad looked in 2008.
Update. He’ll be paroled in January 2024.
10 years for murder.
I won’t print the rest of what I’m thinking.
