Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee sprinter known as the “Blade Runner”, was denied parole by a parole board in Pretoria, South Africa following a hearing. The board cited a new clarification on Pistorius’ sentence that was issued by South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal and determined that Pistorius had not served the “minimum detention period” required to be released. This decision comes after Pistorius had served seven years of his 13-year sentence for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.
