 The state will argue that six years in jail is too lenient a sentence for the murder by Pistorius of Reeva Steenkamp, his girlfriend, in 2013. 
  
 “The state, in the papers, we stipulate clearly that the sentence imposed is shockingly low,” said NPA spokesman Luvuyo Mfaku. 
  
 “The presiding officer has the discretion to deviate from the minimum prescribed sentence when compelling and substantial circumstances exist. But... with this matter, the presiding officer exercised that discretion in a very lenient manner.” 
  
 Women’s rights groups in a country beset by high levels of violent crime against women say Pistorius has received preferential treatment compared to non-whites and those without his wealth or international celebrity status. 
  
 The SCA told state prosecutors and the defence in November that they would need to argue their cases in court before it would rule on the matter. 
  
 State prosecutors, led by advocate Gerrie Nel, say the sentence was too lenient as the jail term was less than half the 15 years they had sought. In his arguments at the trial, Nel said Pistorius had shown no remorse for the 2013 shooting. 
  
 Lawyers for the gold medallist, known as the “Blade Runner” for his carbon-fibre prosthetics, say he did not deliberately kill model and law graduate Steenkamp. 
  
 The athlete was originally convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to five years in jail. That conviction was increased to murder by the SCA in December 2015 and his sentence increased to six years by trial Judge Thokozile Masipa. 
  
 She dismissed in August 2016 a request by Nel to appeal Pistorius’ sentence, saying she was not persuaded that there was a reasonable prospect of success at another court. 
  
 Nel then launched his case at the SCA, in Bloemfontein, 400 km (250 miles) southwest of Johannesburg. ||||| It has been suggested that the athlete could be out of prison in as little as two years, if the state doesn't appeal successfully, after being handed a six-year sentence. This is because he has already served time in prison, undertaken many of the rehabilitation courses he is likely to be offered this time round, and because he could be deemed eligible for correctional supervision by the prison authorities, which would him released early, and electronically tagged. 
  
 When he was sentenced for manslaughter in October 2014, he was handed five years' imprisonment. After just one sixth of that sentence, 10 months, he was considered for release under correctional supervision by the prison authorities and released into house arrest at his uncle's palatial mansion two months later. Having been sentenced to return to prison however, the athlete is now expected to be taken from court to Kgosi Mampuru II on the outskirts of Pretoria. 
  
 Under prison regulations, he will be fingerprinted before he leaves the court as prisoners have been known to swap identities in the cells. On arrival at the prison, an austere structure ringed by curved and electrified fences and cameras which sits on one of the main roads in to Pretoria, he will be strip-searched, his personal possessions taken and he will be issued with an orange jumpsuit. 
  
 He is expected to be held, as before, in a single cell in the hospital wing of the prison. There are just six cells in the section, which is guarded by a special task force of prison officers. The athlete's psychologist claimed during the sentencing proceedings however that Pistorius was assaulted by another prisoner who managed to get into the high security wing, leaving him with two black eyes. The state suggested the athlete lied about the incident since he did not report it to the authorities. ||||| This will appear next to all of your comments

Output:
South African prosecutors wanted Oscar Pistorius to spend 15 years in jail for the 2013 murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. A judge ended up sentencing him in July 2016 to just six, and now state prosecutors are appealing in a quest to make his "shockingly low" sentence less so. Reuters reports that the appeal will be heard by the country's Supreme Court of Appeal on Nov. 3. A rep for the National Prosecuting Authority had this to say: "We stipulate clearly that the sentence imposed is shockingly low. The presiding officer has the discretion to deviate from the minimum prescribed sentence when compelling and substantial circumstances exist. But ... with this matter, the presiding officer exercised that discretion in a very lenient manner." The Telegraph in 2016 quoted one of Pistorius' attorneys as saying the double-amputee athlete would serve "between half and two thirds" of the six years before applying for parole. The AP reports prosecutors want the sentence to be upped to 15 years. (Ahead of his 2016 sentencing, Pistorius said Steenkamp wouldn't want him jailed for long.)
