Ex-Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, Convicted of Killing Girlfriend, Gets Paroled Early – Internet Enraged
Paralympic gold medalist and convicted killer Oscar Pistorius was granted parole on Friday just 10 years after he shot his girlfriend to death.
The 37-year-old South African will be released from prison after serving about eight years of a 13-year sentence, The Associated Press reported.
Pistorius, a double amputee dubbed the “Blade Runner,” will be freed on Jan. 5 but will be monitored for the remainder of the time he was slated to spend behind bars.
He also must perform community service and attend programs on anger issues and violence against women.
Pistorius will not be able to leave Pretoria, where the killing took place, without permission, but he will not have to wear a monitoring device as that is not part of South African procedure,
