- Paralympian Oscar Pistorius’ conviction for killing his girlfriend
Reeva Steenkamp has been scaled up to murder from culpable homicide by
South Africa’s top appeals court.
"Blade Runner" Pistorius could now be sent back to jail for at least
15 years for shooting Steenkamp dead on Valentine’s Day 2013. The
athlete is expected to be sentenced for the new murder conviction by a
lower court at a date still to be determined.
“刀锋战士”皮斯托瑞斯将因为在2013年情人节枪杀斯廷坎普而被送入监狱长达15年之久。这名运动员将会被下级法院宣判新的谋杀罪,但宣判日还没有定下来。
Last year a judge gave Pistorius a five-year jail sentence for
"culpable homicide" of Steenkamp, but prosecutors argued that he should
be convicted of murder for firing four shots through a locked toilet
door in a case that attracted interest around the world and continues to
fascinate and divide South Africa. Pistorius left jail on parole in
October and is meant to serve the rest of his sentence under house
arrest. "This is a human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions," Judge
Eric Leach said as he started reading the ruling.

年,法官宣判皮斯托瑞斯误杀斯廷坎普,判处5年有期徒刑。但是由公诉人争论到,他通过上锁的厕所的门,连开四枪,应当被判谋杀罪。这吸引了全世界的兴趣,
在南非也引起了持续的讨论。皮斯托瑞斯在11月获得假释,离开了监狱,这意味着他将监禁在家来服满剩下的刑期。法官埃里克·利奇在读到这个时表示,“这是
人类非常大的悲剧。”
State prosecutors who lodged the appeal say Pistorius intended to kill
Steenkamp and that she fled to a toilet during a row. Pistorius denies
deliberately killing Steenkamp, saying he mistook her for an intruder at
his home.
提出上诉的国家公诉人说到,皮斯托瑞斯蓄意杀害了斯廷坎普,她在枪击期间逃到了厕所。皮斯托瑞斯否认故意杀害斯廷坎普,说自己误认为她是非法闯入他家的人。
At the original trial in September last year, Judge Thokozile Masipa
ruled that the state had failed to prove intent or "dolus eventualis", a
legal concept that centres on a person being held responsible for the
foreseeable consequences of their actions.
在去年九月的最初庭审中,法官马希琶检方没有能够给出足够充分的证据,来表明被告有意图或“间接故意”(法律概念,意为因能预见行为结果而需负责)
Dolus eventualis refers to whether a person foresees the possibility
that his or her action will cause death but carries on regardless.
间接故意指,一个人不管是否预见了他或她的行为会导致他人死亡,都继续行为。
"In these circumstances, the accused must have foreseen and,
therefore, did foresee that whoever was behind the toilet door might die
but reconciled himself to that even occurring and gambled with that
person’s life," said Judge Leach. "The identity of his victim is
irrelevant to his guilt."
法官利奇说到,“在这些情况下,被告肯定已经预见了结果,因此他确实预见了,不管谁在厕所门后面都会死亡,但仍继续行动,即使死亡会发生,即使是拿别人的生命做赌注。他的罪行和受害人的身份没有关系。”
