Oscar Pistorius' sister thanks judgehttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/pe...-a7130531.html
“The thing I'm most grateful and the thing I really appreciate is the emphasis she made to distinguish a difference between the facts and the truth in terms of this is not a gender-based violence situation," she said.
“It's a terrible accident where Oscar had no intention of shooting Reeva. A lot of hurt has been created and on top of that, there is already in this tragedy, that there's this lie being perpetuated that there was violence that there was an argument and that there was intention to shoot Reeva, which is not true and there hasn't been anything to support that.”

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-36855498Prosecutors argue that Pistorius' sentence is inappropriate for the crime of murder and "shockingly too lenient".
They also argue that the sentence is unjust and could bring the justice system into disrepute.

Re: Oscar Pistorius
I have just received this message from a friend in S Africa:-Just a quickie to say I can't believe it, just heard on the radio that the state is again appealing Oscar Pistorius's latest sentence, will we ever hear the end of this case? I also think he got off far too lightly, but I'm sick of it all now, and also wondering how much all these appeals and retrials are costing the taxpayer.

Prosecutors described the Paralympic athlete's punishment for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013 as "shockingly lenient".
At the hearing in Pretoria, Judge Thokozile Masipa said the petition had no reasonable prospect of success.
The state now has 21 days to take its case to the Supreme Court of Appeal.
