At the end of it all: Pistorius gets a six-year sentence for murder.
His lawyers are not appealing and he has been taken directly to jail, without passing Go.
Many are angry as this is below the minimum term for murder in South Africa. The Judge says that mitigating circumstances including rehabilitation and remose led her to deliver a 6 year sentence instead of the expected 15 year.
He will be eligible for parole after serving half of his sentence.
