Exactly, I think that is why the judge has needed to find something down a complex middle.

And if he did intentionally kill Reeva, his life is moreless over with the reputation he now has, inside or outside.

I think he is going to be very poorly treated inside.

Will it include time served?

Prosecution has 14 days to appeal the light sentence.

It will then be heard by a panel of judges.

The defence team can also appeal
