Olympian Oscar Pistorius was convicted of manslaughter in 2014 and sentenced to five years in prison. He served one year and then was put on house arrest, but his conviction was overturned and upgraded to murder by a higher court in 2015. In November 2017, his sentence was increased to 13 years and five months. Oscar Pistorius reacts as he is seated in the High Court in Pretoria, South Africa, Wednesday, June 15, 2016 on the third day of the double-amputee runner's sentencing hearing for murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. An appeals court found Pistorius guilty of murder and not a lesser charge of culpable homicide for the shooting death of Steenkamp. (Alon Skuy/Pool Photo via AP)
