Oscar Pistorius case to be heard by Supreme Court of Appeal on November 3 as prosecutors attempt to have him convicted of murdering Reeva Steenkamp

Oscar Pistorius' case will be heard by South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal
The double-amputee athlete was found guilty of manslaughter, but prosecutors want him convicted of murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp
Prosecutors say that Judge Thokozile Masipa made errors and want Supreme Court to re-examine manslaughter verdict
The appeal will be heard on November 3 with panel of five judges

Prosecutors accused Pistorius of killing Steenkamp intentionally after a fight and say Judge Thokozile Masipa made errors at the murder trial last year. They want the Supreme Court to re-examine her verdict.

The Supreme Court could overrule Masipa and find the Olympian guilty of murder, order a new trial, or decide Masipa was correct. A murder conviction in South Africa carries a minimum sentence of 15 years in jail. The country no longer has the death penalty.

"The Judicial Images Network Project was established in 2014 to bring together scholars and across disciplines and continents to explore issues surrounding the production, regulation and consumption of judicial images"

Interesting that this wasn't even a concern let alone came into being before RS was murdered... it seems the rich and famous only want media attention when it's favourable to them.
