Trial of Oscar Pistorius

A South African judge on Dec. 9 delayed a ruling on whether to allow the prosecution to appeal against Oscar Pistorius's five-year prison sentence for killing his girlfriend, saying she needed more time.
      

South African prosecutors on Nov. 10 aid that their request to appeal Oscar Pistorius's manslaughter conviction and five-year prison sentence would be heard on December 9.
      
The jailed Paralympian's legal team has opposed the move, setting the stage for a hearing before the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria in a month.
