In the appeal documents, the prosecution calls Pistorius' sentence "shockingly light" and inappropriate.
A court hearing will be held on the matter, but no date has been set. The process could take six months, CNN legal analyst Kelly Phelps said.

The state is choosing not to appeal the judge’s not guilty verdict on the charges of shooting out of a car and discharging a gun in Tasha’s. They are, however, appealing the not guilty verdict on the charge of Pistorius having illegally stored his father’s ammunition at his home – because they say it has “wide implications for both legal and illegal gun owners”.

The meat of the appeal, however, rests on the question of whether “the court correctly applied the principles of dolus eventualis” to the murder charge.

Another source with regular access to the prison confirmed that a new bathroom is being built for Pistorius “so that Oscar does not have to walk past a number of prisoners to get to the toilet”.

Pistorius was previously housed in the prison’s EF section, but had to be moved after Etienne Kabila – who is awaiting trial for plotting to overthrow his half brother, Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila – allegedly flooded the cells.

Sources at Mail Online reveal that prison managers have told Pistorius that he does not qualify for their tagging scheme, as the device cannot be properly monitored when fixed to a prosthetic leg.
