Former Olympic runner and Paralympic gold medalist Oscar Pistorius is up for parole more than 10 years after he shot and killed his girlfriend.

— Former Olympic runner and Paralympic gold medalist Oscar Pistorius is up for parole. South Africa's parole board meets Friday to decide if Pistorius will be released from prison more than 10 years after he shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The murder trial in 2014 kept viewers around the world glued to the live courtroom broadcast as prosecutors argued that the elite athlete had deliberately shot his girlfriend through a locked bathroom door in the middle of the night. Social workers have already inspected his uncle Arno Pistorius' property in Pretoria, which is where he would serve out the remainder of his sentence if parole is granted.
