[St Charles Owl]

Problem with this was that he was found not guilty of murder, but was found guilty of culpable homicide, which I think is the same as manslaughter in the UK. I suppose the this means he didn't intend to kill his girlfriend but did intend to harm the "intruder" he claimed he though was in the bathroom. If it had turned out to be an intruder breaking into his house and he did this then I would have thought he would have been given no sentence as this would have been classed as self defence!!

As regards him competing again, haven't the International Athletic bodies said that it doesn't matter when he is released, he is banned form all competition for the full 5 year sentence that was imposed?? If that is the case then he is done as an athlete from an international standpoint.
