Oscar Pistorius will not appeal his six-year jail sentence for the
murder of Reeva Steenkamp, a member of his legal team said outside the
High Court in Pretoria on Wednesday.
"We
respect the decision of Judge Masipa and are not lodging an application
for leave to appeal. Oscar will serve his sentence as handed down,"
Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett told reporters.
Pistorius, 29, hugged his family members before being taken out of the
court to begin serving his jail term. And could be out in two years for
good behaviour.
