Olympian Oscar Pistorius In Fresh Parole Bid Decade After Girlfriend's Murder

This is Oscar Pistorius' second shot at parole in less than eight months.

South Africa's ex-Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius on Friday sought an early release from prison, a decade after killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, despite her mother telling his parole hearing that he had "not been rehabilitated".

Steenkamp's mother is not opposing parole. But in a statement to the board assessing whether Pistorius should be released, June Steenkamp said he had not shown true remorse.

"Rehabilitation requires someone to engage honestly, with the full truth of his crime and the consequences thereof. Nobody can claim to have remorse if they're not able to engage fully with the truth," she said.
