[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 806961, member: 40658"] Murder has a minimum sentence of 15 years. But the mitigating factors played a massive role in going away from the norm and changing the prescribed sentence for murder. In Oscar's case, him walking on his stumps in court played massively in his favour, and this was also how he walked at the time of the shooting. From what I've heard from other lawyers and Advocates, this was a lenient sentence as all of them thought that he would've gotten between 8 to 10 years. The other thing is that Oscar won't sit the entire 6 years. He will have to complete at least a fifth of his sentence before he qualifies for parole. so the chance is there that we might hear something as early as next year about his parole. [/QUOTE]
