Judge Thokozile Masipa will be
under pressure to restore public confidence in the law on Monday, as sentencing
proceedings are set to begin in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial.
Pistorius will be back at the
High Court in Pretoria where he will be sentenced again, after the Supreme
Court of Appeal found him guilty of murder and not culpable homicide as Masipa
had previously found.
He’s been convicted of
shooting and killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day two
years ago at his home in Pretoria.
Criminal law attorney Rian
Louw says all eyes will be on Masipa.
