TL;DR Summary

Oscar Pistorius, the former Olympic runner and Paralympic gold medalist, is up for parole in South Africa more than 10 years after he shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The parole board will consider his conduct and disciplinary record in prison, his participation in educational or other training courses during the last decade of incarceration, and his mental and physical state to assess whether Pistorius, now 36, would still pose a threat to public safety. Steenkamp's parents were to address the parole board to voice their opposition to Pistorius being granted early parole.
