The state and large sections of the South African public had called for him to receive ** less than the prescribed minimum 15-year sentence for murder, saying Pistorius had shown ** remorse for the killing. Judge Thokozile Masipa disagreed, accepting the defence's arguments for a lesser punishment. "Public opinion may be loud and persistent but it can play ** role in the decision of this court," Masipa said. "I am of the view that a long term in prison will **t serve justice." It was **t clear whether the state would appeal the verdict. Dressed in a dark suit, the 29-year-old stared straight ahead as Masipa read out the sentence. Pistorius was found guilty of murdering Steenkamp by an appeals court last December. He had initially received a five-year sentence for a manslaughter conviction in 2014 handed down by Masipa, a ruling derided by women's groups as too lenient. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Pistorius jailed for six years for murder of girlfriend || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
