Judge Thokozile Masipa also gave the athlete once known as "The Blade Runner" a three-year suspended sentence on a firearms charge. She had found Pistorius guilty of culpable homicide, or negligent killing, but had acquitted him of the more serious crime of murder.
Masipa based the sentence on what she called the "gross negligence" of Pistorius, who shot Steenkamp multiple times through a toilet cubicle door in his home early on the morning of Feb. 14, 2013. Pistorius had testified that the shooting was an accident because he mistook his girlfriend for a nighttime intruder.

He got off... but shouldn't have. Anyone who discharges a weapon through a wall/door/partition/etc, is inept at firearm training, and it should be murder.
Not enough time for this dude...
Agreed. Not enough. A beautiful human being is no longer with us.
