New court documents show Oscar Pistorius was eligible for parole in March under South African law
from prison because of an error over when he began serving his sentence for murder, new court documents show.
The new papers submitted to the Constitutional Court indicate that was an error. They were submitted by a senior parole board official on behalf of South Africa’s minister of justice, the commissioner of the corrections department, and parole and prison authorities. They show that authorities accept that Pistorius had served half his sentence on March 21 this year.
When South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal finally sentenced Pistorius to the 13 years and five months, there was a reason for that number. He should have been sentenced to 15 years, the minimum for murder in South Africa, but had already served a year and seven months between the time he was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced in late 2014 and the time it was upgraded to a murder conviction in July 2016.But, crucially, it should have started Pistorius’ new sentence from July 2016.
