Murder or Nothing! Oscar Pistorius Prosecutors to Appeal his Manslaughter Verdict
After wide spread criticism following Oscar Pistorius' manslaughter
verdict, the prosecutors have confirmed they are going to appeal the
verdict and five-year prison sentence .They insist their goal is to
secure a murder conviction.
Under the current terms, Pistorius is eligible for release after 10
months and would then complete his sentence under house
arrest.Prosecution spokesman Nathi Mncube said the next step would be to
file papers in court.Chief lawyer Gerrie Nel is holding urgent meetings
with the country's most senior legal experts to build a case.
If they go to court, it is unsure how Pistorius would fund a second
trail as he is said to have spent $1.6 million in legal fees and is
still owing his legal team about $700,000.
