Paralympic Oscar To Be Freed In August

According to new report Oscar Pistorius might be set free from jail in August as he faces an appeal over his sentence for killing his girlfriend, a family member confirmed.
The Paralympic and Olympic athlete, who fatally shot Reeva Steenkamp through a bathroom door with expanding hollow-point bullets, was handed a five-year jail sentence in October.

But a relative, who did not want to be named, said: "Oscar will be released on parole by the end of August."

It comes as South African prosecutors prepare their bid to get the severity of his jail term and conviction increased at the November hearing, according to a Supreme Court official. 

"An official told AFP that a specific date has not been set yet, but we can confirm that the appeal will happen in November this year."
