Oscar Pistorius granted bail after murder conviction
- 8 years ago
Oscar Pistorius was back in court Tuesday where a judge granted him bail.
Judge Aubrey Ledwaba said Pistorius has proven he is not a flight risk.
The double-amputee sprinter will be free to leave his uncle's home, where he has been under house confinement, and can travel up to 20 kilometers (12 miles) between the hours of 7 a.m. and noon.
He will be required to seek written permission to leave the house at any other time, and must pay a 10,000-rand ($686) bail, Ledwaba said.
Pistorius will still have to wear an electronic monitoring device.
Last week, South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal overturned his conviction of culpable homicide and found him guilty of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
