Senior counsel, Andrea Johnson, has submitted to the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein that Pretoria High Court Judge, Thokozile Masipa elevated Oscar Pistorius and absolved him of his crime.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has approached the SCA to have the disgraced Paralympian’s six-year murder sentence increased.
