Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius is out of jail and seemingly on his way to a small windfall from publishing rights. According to multiple reports, publishers are queuing at his doorsteps seeking a book deal.
This shouldn’t be surprising given the massive interest in the man and how he murdered his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day over a decade ago.
he denied it was a deliberate killing, claiming that his home had been invaded previously and he thought a home invader was in the bathroom so he released multiple shots as a means of self-defence.
His claims were dismissed because he could certainly hear the screams of his then-girlfriend Reeva in the restroom but continued shooing anyway. Well, after serving time in prison and fighting off multiple forces that want his to rot in the slammer, he was eventually released.
With his release, there is an uptick in interest in him. Well, what better way to share some insights about the killing of Reeva and his life than through a book? Publishers want a book and are already offering big cheques (some sources claim as high as R23 million) for a book.
It is left to time to reveal if a book will eventually pop from Pistorius – and when.
