​Oscar Pistorius to be released from prison

Oscar Pistorius, the South African Paralympics athlete runner jailed for the 2013 shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, will be released from prison on Tuesday.

The Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Supervision and Parole Board made the announcement on Thursday.

Pistorius, popularly known as the "Blade Runner," shot Steenkamp in what he said was a case of mistaken identity. He was convicted of the equivalent of manslaughter and sentenced in 2014 to five years in prison.

Pistorius will be placed under correctional supervision (a form of house arrest) as of October 20.

In a statement, the Parole Board said it considered all submissions, including the offender's profile report, the directives of the Parole Review Board, and the submission of the victim's family, before making its decision.

Conditions placed upon Pistorius include continued psychotherapy and prohibitions in line with the Fire Arms Control Act Section 103.

In June the parents of Steenkamp said they've forgiven Pistorius for killing their "precious daughter," and in a written statement to the Parole Board added, "we do not seek to avenge her death and we do not want Mr. Pistorius to suffer; that will not bring her back to us."

But the bereaved parents added that, in their view, "incarceration of 10 months for taking a life is simply not enough."

Unlike the United States, in South Africa prosecutors can actually appeal an acquittal in a homicide, and so "it is very possible he could end up going back to prison for a minimum of 15 years," Diane Bass, a criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles, told CBS News.
