Anneliese Burgess, a spokesperson for the Pistorius family, said the trial had been a “long, drawn out process” and considered the case over.
“To a certain extent there is relief that this is the last chapter, that they won’t be coming back,” she told reporters outside the courthouse.
Carl Pistorius, brother of the former athlete, said on Twitter that the family had “the utmost respect” for Masipa.

Is it perhaps a little presumptuous to be stating that the case is considered over? That may be the opinion of the arrogant Pistorius family, but for me it ain’t over till the fat lady sings.
If I were in Oscar's shoes I'd be feeling very nervous right now waiting for the 14 days to expire.
I have never heard of a murder case, ever, where the murderer's family makes a statement. Usually they would not dare nor even want to try and outshadow the victim's family on the steps of the court. They have no concept of right and wrong.
It says all you need to know about sentencing, that the murderer's brother is crowing.
