South Africa’s top appeals court has ruled that Olympic and Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius is guilty of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013. Thursday’s ruling overturns a lower court’s decision to convict Pistorius on the lesser charge of manslaughter. Pistorius is currently under house arrest and is awaiting sentencing for the new murder conviction, which carries a minimum of 15 years in prison.
