"Oscar Pistorius: From Olympic Glory to Parolee After Murder Conviction"

Oscar Pistorius, the South African double-amputee Olympic runner, was released on parole after serving nearly nine years for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013. Born with a congenital condition, Pistorius had his legs amputated below the knee as a child and went on to compete in the Olympics. His fall from grace began with Steenkamp's murder, leading to a high-profile trial and eventual conviction. His initial manslaughter conviction was later overturned for murder, and his sentence was increased to 13 years and five months. Pistorius will remain under strict conditions until the full sentence expires in 2029.
