I just thought I'd let you know what Kelly Phelps had to say:
OP has one final avenue of appeal remaining the Constitutional Court.
She believes its "quite likely" that he would take his appeal to that court, and she "wouldn't be surprised" if the question of double jeopardy was something his legal team explored in their appeal.
"The issue of double jeopardy hasn't really been robustly debated in this particular context since the advent of our constitution, and I do think there are grounds for debate on reappraising the current approach".
"I certainly don't think that it is the end of the story. This simply marks the end of one phase and the beginning of another one."

The minimum prison term for murder is 15 years under South African law but experts say Masipa can exercise discretion under certain circumstances. She may take into account OPs disability and the fact he has also spent a year in jail.
Conversely, she may feel chastised by the reversal of her original conviction and feel the need to stick by the guidelines this time.
There is provision for Pistorius to appeal again at South Africa's Constitutional Court. But to get his case heard, his legal team would have to prove that either; his rights had been infringed in the way the trial was heard, or that re-examining it is in the national interest.
Legal expert Mannie Witz told the BBC in his view neither of these grounds are met by the Pistorius case.

Meanwhile, the Pistorius family has also issued a statement on the matter, saying it "took note of the judgement".
"The legal team will study the finding and we will be guided by them in terms of options going forward. We will not be commenting any further at this stage," a family spokesperson added.
