S.African court rejects state appeal over Pistorius sentence
A South African judge Friday rejected the state's appeal seeking a longer sentence for Paralympian Oscar Pistorius who is serving a six term for killing his girlfriend three years ago.
Judge Thokozile Masipa said in the High Court in Johannesburg that she was not persuaded there was a "reasonable prospect of success on appeal".
"I grant the following order: the application for leave to appeal against the sentence is dismissed with costs," said Masipa.
