Oscar Pistorius, the former South African runner who competed in both the Olympics and Paralympics, was ordered to be released from prison Friday, more than 10 years after he shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home.
Pistorius is now set to be released from a South African prison on Jan. 5 after the court confirmed he had served the time necessary to make him eligible. Pistorius had been sentenced to 13 years and five months in 2016 for the murder of Steenkamp.
