South African paralympic legend, Oscar Pistorius, who was charged and detained for allegedly killing his 29 year old model girlfriend, Reeve Steenkamp, has just been granted bail by presiding magistrate Desmond Nair. Cost of bail is $28,000 and has been instructed to submit both his international passport and other relevant documents. Reports have it that one of the reasons for the bail is the fact that South African prisons seem to be quite filled at the moment. Judge Nasir also added that he believes Pistorius is not a flight risk and hasn't the propensity to be violent.
Proper prosecution will commence June 4, 2013.
