Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympic runner who was convicted of murdering his girlfriend in 2013, could be granted parole on Friday after spending nearly 10 years in prison. Pistorius, initially convicted of culpable homicide before being convicted of murder on appeal, has served the required time for parole eligibility. The parole board will consider factors such as his conduct in prison and any risk he may pose to the community.
