The National Prosecuting Authority believes that the High
Court failed to take into account that Reeva Steenkamp's right to life was
needlessly taken from her.
In the court papers,
the NPA said that insufficient weight was given to the fact that Pistorius'
showed disregard for human life.
The NPA said
Pistorius was quick to resort to gun violence to kill the person behind
the toilet door.
The NPA on yesterday said it would appeal against Oscar
Pistorius's six-year sentence for murder, calling it shockingly too
lenient.
It said the sentence was disproportionate to the
crime and could bring the justice system into disrepute.
The NPA has decided to file an application for leave to
appeal, it said in a statement.
