Olympian Oscar Pistorius Granted Parole After 10 Years in Prison

South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius, who was convicted of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, will be released on parole after a successful bid. Pistorius, known as the "blade runner" for his carbon-fiber prosthetic legs, is serving a sentence of over 13 years. The decision to grant parole was made after assessing his profile and completion of correctional programs. Pistorius claimed he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar, but her parents believe he knew it was her. The parole board's decision was welcomed by Pistorius's lawyer, although they expressed disappointment with the delayed release date.
