After being cleared of premeditated murder, Oscar Pistorius was found guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide (the equivalent of manslaughter in America) early Friday. Reports the Guardian:
Pistorius could receive anything from 15 years in prison to a suspended sentence, which would potentially allow the double amputee a chance to resurrect his sporting career. The court will resume for sentencing at a later date.
Pistorius was granted a bail extension shortly after the verdict was read, and will remain free until sentencing on October 13.
The judge also acquitted the “Blade Runner” of two firearms charges and convicted him of another. Here’s a video of the verdict being read, courtesy of the Telegraph:
