Oscar Pistorius nearly home freePistorius was convicted of culpable homicide, which The Guardian compares to manslaughter. The South African broadcaster eNCA reports that prosecutors are appealing that conviction. They're asking a court to convict him, instead, of murder, which carries a longer sentence.
As eNCA reports, there is a possibility that Pistorius could be out on parole and then, if prosecutors are successful, he could be sent back to prison.

South Africa's justice minister has blocked the early release of athlete Oscar Pistorius from prison on Friday.
He said the decision by the parole board to free the athlete after serving 10 months of his five-year sentence was premature and without legal basis.
