On Friday, the Department of Correctional Services granted him parole, effective Jan. 5. He will be subject to conditions until his sentence expires. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
Pistorius testified at his murder trial that he killed Steenkamp by mistake, thinking she was a dangerous intruder hiding in his bathroom in the middle of the night when he fired four times through the door with his licensed 9mm pistol.
