Was Oscar Pistorius' sentence too light?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33171points) October 22nd, 2014

South African runner and confessed killer Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to five years for killing his girlfriend. Newspaper accounts here say that he may actually only spend ten months in jail.

This seems awfully short for a murder. A similar offense in the US would likely be longer.

Is Pistorius getting away lightly?
