"Oscar Pistorius: The Blade Runner's Path from Valentine's Tragedy to Controversial Parole"

Oscar Pistorius, the South African Paralympic sprinter, was released on parole after serving nearly nine years for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013. Pistorius claimed he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder and shot her through a bathroom door, but prosecutors argued it was intentional following an argument. The Supreme Court of Appeal convicted him of murder, stating he acted recklessly and should have known the shooting would result in death. The final verdict did not conclusively determine if Pistorius intended to kill Steenkamp specifically.
