Oscar Pistorius will not appeal his 6 years murder sentence - Lawyer

Oscar Pistorius will not appeal his six-year jail sentence for the
murder of Reeva Steenkamp, a member of his legal team said
outside the High Court in Pretoria on Wednesday.
"We respect the decision of Judge Masipa and are not lodging an
application for leave to appeal. Oscar will serve his sentence as
handed down," Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett told reporters.
Pistorius, 29, hugged his family members before being taken out of
the court to begin serving his jail term. And could be out in two
years for good behaviour.
Earlier on Wednesday‚ Steenkamp's family was seen leaving the
court surrounded by family members. Her visibly upset parents
Barry and his wife June refused to comment.
"We will not be saying anything for now thank you‚" said a family
spokesman
