South African judges to give ruling on Pistorius appeal at a later date

South African Supreme Court judges hearing arguments
from state lawyers that a high court judge had made legal
 errors when she decided not to convict "blade runner"
 Oscar Pistorius of murder, said they would issue their
 decision at a later date.




The Paralympic gold medallist was freed on parole last month after serving a fifth of the prison term given to him for the "culpable homicide" of Reeva Steenkamp, who he killed on Valentine's Day 2013.

Prosecutors said Pistorius should be convicted of murder and sent back to jail, while the defence argued that the sentence the athlete had received was appropriate and should stand.
