This is the best summary I could come up with:
Oscar Pistorius, a South African Paralympian, is set to be released from jail on parole nearly 11 years after fatally shooting his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
A parole board found Friday that Pistorius, 37, had completed the minimum detention requirement — half of his 13-year sentence — to make him parole-eligible under South African law.
The athlete made a parole bid in March, but was denied, with the board saying then that he’d failed to complete the minimum detention period.
The parole board had assessed Pistorius’s overall condition and found he had a “positive support system,” according to a statement from South Africa’s Correctional Services Department.
A victim’s impact statement from June Steenkamp, Reeva’s mother, was another factor in the decision, authorities said at a press conference following the hearing.
Pistorius’s parole will come with five years of conditions, including that he attend an anger management course and not leave the region of Pretoria without permission from authorities, according to a report from the Associated Press that cites a Department of Corrections spokesperson.
