'Jail Oscar for ten years': Prosecutor demands long prison sentence for Blade Runner killer as his family 'rocks' mount show of support

The athlete's sister Aimee (left), brother Carl (top right), uncle Arnold and aunt Lois (far right, bottom right image) have been in court for almost every day of the seven-month trial in Pretoria, offering him moral support through fits of sobbing and break downs. On what was another emotional day in court, both teams of lawyers had one final chance to convince the judge to hand him the stiffest-possible prison term for killing his girlfriend or let him walk free. It began with defence lawyer Barry Roux painting a picture of Pistorius as a man who had already suffered enough for shooting Reeva Steenkamp - an epic fall from grace of a 'sporting icon' now reduced to a 'broken man' left with nothing. It finished with prosecutor Gerrie Nel insisting that society would not settle for anything less than a sentence of ten years behind bars
