The Supreme Court of Appeal today overturned Oscar
Pistorius’s culpable manslaughter charge and adjudged him guilty of the murder
of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The judge ruled that when he fired gunshots
through his bathroom door in February 2014, he foresaw the possibility of death
for the victim regardless of their identity, and proceeded with his actions. He
could now be facing a 15 year
prison sentence.
