STELLENBOSCH, South Africa - Prosecutors said Monday their application to appeal against Oscar Pistorius manslaughter conviction and five-year prison sentence will be heard in a Pretoria court on Dec. Robert Golden Jersey . 9.It wasnt yet decided if the Olympic runner — who is in jail in the same city — would attend the hearing, his lawyer said.Prosecutors have said Pistorius should have been found guilty of murder for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Their appeal against Judge Thokozile Masipas initial verdict and sentence has reasonable prospects of success, they said.Masipa found the double-amputee athlete not guilty of murder for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet cubicle door in his home, ruling that Pistorius did not intend to kill when he fired four times.Pistorius, a multiple Paralympic champion who ran at the 2012 Olympics on carbon-fiber blades, was instead convicted of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, by Masipa because she said he acted negligently. Pistorius testified he mistook Steenkamp for a nighttime intruder in his home when he killed her in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14, 2013.His five-year sentence means he could be released after serving 10 months in jail to complete the sentence under house arrest at his uncles luxurious home, a punishment previously described as shockingly light by prosecutors.If Pistorius is found guilty of murder on the appeal, he would face a minimum of 15 years in prison.Pistorius defence team would be very nervous if the case was referred to the Supreme Court of Appeal, legal expert Marius du Toit said, because of the chance of a murder conviction. South Africas National Prosecuting Authority also said Monday it had been informed by Pistorius defence lawyers that they would oppose the appeal.Prosecutors must first apply to Masipa for permission to ultimately appeal her decisions in the Supreme Court of Appeal. Their initial application will be heard next month by Masipa at North Gauteng High Court, the Pretoria courthouse where Pistorius seven-month murder trial was held.Pistorius can attend the hearing and apply to be released from prison on bail if the appeal goes ahead, prosecution spokesman Nathi Mncube said. Pistorius lawyer, Brian Webber, said he hadnt discussed with his client if he would appear in court or if they would seek bail.Pistorius, who turns 28 this month, is serving his manslaughter sentence in Kgosi Mampuru II prison, where he has been temporarily moved to a new cell because of a flood started by another inmate who was arguing with guards, South Africas City Press newspaper reported on Sunday.Prosecutors believe Judge Masipa may have made an error by ruling in September that Pistorius had no intention to kill in Steenkamps shooting death. Prosecutors have cited a section of South African law called dolus eventualis, which says someone should be found guilty of murder if they foresaw the possibility of a person dying through their actions and went ahead — as they argued Pistorius did.The NPA reiterates that the decision to appeal was taken on the basis that it believes there exists reasonable prospects of a successful appeal based on a question of law, the state prosecuting body said in its statement.The NPA wants clarity from the Supreme Court of Appeal over the principle of dolus eventualis, it said.

Jones took a beating, the worst one of his record reign, in a bout against Alexander Gustafsson that knocked the light heavyweight champion on the canvas for the first time in his career and put his belt in jeopardy. Looking as human and humbled as ever, Jones wouldnt let his hard-earned championship slip away easily and gutted out another title defence -- a UFC record sixth straight -- that set up him up to find another challenger of the month. Enter Glover Teixeira. Teixeira boasts a whopping 20-bout winning streak that dates nine years and is coming off a first-round TKO of Ryan Bader. Jones (19-1) and Teixeira (22-2) fight in the main event of UFC 172 Saturday night when the promotion makes its debut in Baltimore. Phil Davis fights Anthony Johnson in the other headline bout. Jones, one of UFCs biggest active pay-per-view draws, won a unanimous decision against Gustafsson at UFC 165 in September. Gustafsson cut the champion at the right eye midway through the first round. And with a minute left, he took Jones down for the first time in the champions UFC career. Jones said he knew he was as close as ever to dropping the belt. "I realized I needed to switch up my strategy and begin improvising a little bit more, and thats what I did," he said. "I think with Gus I was trying to fight like a technical kick boxing match and I think I was losing at that. I just had to switch my style up and start flowing a little better and start winging things, making up, creating, and finding new openings." He found enough of them to escape and put his name in the record book. With the win, Jones passed UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortizs light heavyweight mark of five straight successful title defences. After beating Shogun Rua on March 20, 2011 to win the belt, Jones went on to defeat Rampage Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort, Chael Sonnen and Gustafsson. Dorian ODaniel Jersey. . He beat all but Evans and Gustafsson during the streak via TKO or submission, and three times earned UFC fight of the night honours. Known as "Bones," Jones said its time to return to his dominant form to keep the streak going. "Im totally prepared to fight for five rounds, but my goal in this fight is to dominate the fight in a way that no one seen possible," he said. Domination is in my psychology. Its the way I train. Its the way I eat. Its the way I visualize. Its the way I believe. "If I dont dominate the fight, Ill still be happy with the victory. But domination is what Im planning on." Teixeira, the No. 2 title contender, is 5-0 since jumping to UFC but a 5-1 underdog in the fight of his life. "My strategy against Jon Jones is simple, go out there and be myself and knock this guy out," he said. "Ive been training my whole life for this." Jones, a former college wrestler and the brother of two NFL players, nearly suffered a broken arm in his win over Belfort and broke a toe against Sonnen. Winning while hurt, then turning around the Gustafsson bout in the final two rounds, proved to Jones he can win under any circumstances. "After that Gustafsson fight, Im even more confident in my will," he said. "I know I have a lot of will. I know that Im armed with that going into this battle on Saturday night. Jones has two brothers in the NFL, including Arthur, a Super Bowl champion with the Ravens who now plays for the Colts.

"I hope his leaving doesnt change anything because I still love the fans and the support they have given to me and our family." Cheap Chargers Jerseys Cheap Rams Jersey Cheap Dolphins Jerseys
