Earlier this year, Judge Thokozile Masipa found Pistorious guilty of culpable homicide and one firearm-related charge, of reckless endangerment related to discharging a firearm in a restaurant.

Pistorious is expected to serve 10 months behind bars with the rest of his sentence under house arrest. He was also sentenced to a three-year suspended sentence for a firearms charge.
