Reeva Steenkamp’s sister Simone Cowburn has watched in disbelief as Oscar Pistorius’s lawyers insist he deserves special treatment. She is making a desperate plea to the judge in Pretoria who will sentence Oscar to hand down a heavy prison sentence and show that disability should not result in a softer punishment. In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Ms Cowburn says: ‘Oscar deserves prison. He has got to do time. He shouldn’t use his disability as an excuse.’
What do you think? Should disabled people get softer sentences?
