OSCAR PISTORIUS’S BROTHER LASHES OUT AT PAROLE DECISION
On Friday afternoon, the Department of Correctional Services announced that a board had rejected Oscar Pistorius’s parole application.
According to a statement, Oscar was not, in fact, eligible for parole, as he did not serve his minimum sentence. Under South African law, offenders must spend at least half their sentence in prison before becoming eligible for parole.
