PRETORIA, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Oscar Pistorius' defense team said on Wednesday that they will not appeal a six-year sentence given to the Paralympian by high court.
Earlier the high court in Pretoria handed down a six-year sentence to Pistorius for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Reading out the judgment, Judge Thokozile Masipa said the trial of murder-convicted Pistorius had many mitigating factors.
"In the result, the sentence I impose on the accused in terms of murder dolus eventualis, is six years imprisonment," Masipa said.
