Masipa will announce Pistorius' sentence on July 6, she said at the end of three days of testimony and arguments in Pistorius' sentencing hearing. The most dramatic image of the sentencing hearing was Pistorius walking unsteadily on his stumps in the courtroom Wednesday. "That can never be the case ... We feel a long-term imprisonment and the minimum sentence should be imposed." Roux had begun his arguments by saying there were misconceptions over Pistorius' murder conviction, and "substantial and compelling circumstances" existed that would allow the judge to deviate from the 15 years. A judge can reduce the minimum sentence of 15 years for murder in some circumstances.
