Oscar Pistorius to stay in prison until at least mid-September

istorius is set to remain in jail as the review panel, which includes three judges, could take weeks or even months to make its decision.

“We do understand that the parole board will be sitting on the 18th of September,” said a family spokesman on Thursday. “That date has been set.”

Pistorius was acquitted of murder but convicted of culpable homicide, the South African equivalent of manslaughter, after a globally televised trial accepted his plea that he shot four times through a locked toilet door because he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar.
