Oscar Pistorius to Be Freed in August After 10 Months for Killing Girlfriend 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In South Africa, authorities say Olympic and Paralympic athlete Oscar
Pistorius is set to be released from prison in August after serving
exactly 10 months for killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius
claimed he mistook his girlfriend for an intruder when he shot her
through a bathroom door. Prosecutors will challenge his acquittal on
murder charges before an appeals court in November.
