A 100 page ruling is pretty detailed.

I knew someone who was convicted of manslaughter (my ex-wife's brother drove drunk killing his gf) and he got 15 years in South Carolina. We'll see if Pistorius gets more than that. From what little I know about it, I'd guess his sentence is going to be about 20 years.
