SOMERSET WEST, South Africa -- A South African judge is expected to announce Oscar Pistorius new sentence on Wednesday, with the double-amputee Olympic runner facing a possible 15-year jail term after his conviction was changed to murder for shooting girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.The sentencing could be the final act in a legal drama that has rolled on for 3-and-a-half years and often fascinated the world with the fall from grace of a famous athlete who was once an inspiration to many.Be warned, though, it still might not be over.Both the prosecution and Pistorius defense team have the opportunity to appeal any sentence handed down by Judge Thokozile Masipa.---WHAT IS PISTORIUS FACING?Fifteen years in jail is the minimum sentence for murder in South Africa, which no longer has the death penalty. However, as always with Pistorius dramatic case, nothing is certain. Judge Masipa could decide on a reduced sentence if she thinks there are compelling reasons to be lenient.At his 2014 trial, Pistorius was acquitted of murder -- by Masipa -- and instead found guilty of culpable homicide, an unintentional but still negligent killing similar to manslaughter. Then, Masipa sentenced Pistorius to five years in prison. He was released to house arrest after serving one year.But following an appeal by prosecutors to South Africas Supreme Court of Appeal, Pistorius was convicted of the more serious charge of murder, leading to a new sentencing.---WHATS LIKELY TO HAPPEN?Hard to tell.At the murder trial two years ago, Judge Masipa partly believed Pistorius story that he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder hiding in a bathroom in his home in the middle of the night. He claimed he shot four times through a toilet cubicle door in fear for his life, only realizing afterward that it was Steenkamp. Masipas original verdict of manslaughter was overruled by the Supreme Court last year, and Masipa must now sentence the 29-year-old Pistorius again, this time for the crime of murder.At a sentencing hearing last month, prosecutors asked Masipa to sentence Pistorius to at least 15 years in prison. The prosecution has hinted it is unlikely to accept anything less than an eight-year sentence for the multiple Paralympic champion.Pistorius defense argued there are compelling circumstances in Pistorius case that warrant a reduced sentence, and even no jail time: Chief defense lawyer Barry Roux said that Pistorius is still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from the killing and also that his disability and fame will put him in danger in jail. At last months sentencing hearing, Pistorius removed his prosthetic legs and hobbled across the courtroom floor on his stumps in an attempt by his lawyers to show how vulnerable he is. Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel labelled the demonstration a desperate attempt to gain sympathy.---PISTORIUS TV INTERVIEW -- A COSTLY DECISION?Pistorius gave an interview to a British television station shortly before his sentencing hearing, giving prosecutors another opportunity to criticize him. They said his decision to talk to the media and yet decline to testify at his sentencing hearing showed disrespect to the court and Judge Masipa. Masipa, herself a former journalist, might frown on Pistorius television appearance with his case not yet completed.In the interview, Pistorius said he wanted to be given the opportunity to do charity work instead of being sent to jail, and that Steenkamp would not have wanted him to go to prison. Prosecutors contrasted Pistorius decision not to testify at the hearings with Steenkamps 73-year-old father, Barry, who battled his emotions in court as he testified how he had been devastated by the loss of his daughter. Barry Steenkamp, who wept and whose hands shook during his testimony, said Pistorius should pay for what he did.---ANOTHER APPEAL?Its possible, especially if Pistorius is given what prosecutors view as a lenient punishment.If Pistorius is given a long prison sentence, his chances of an appeal may depend on his finances. Pistorius has no more money following a long and costly legal battle, his family lawyer says.Yeezy 700 Mauve NZ .

PAUL, Minn.The belated wisdom (which was still useless)Adil Rashid had struck Mahmudullah on the side of his front pad, and umpire Sharfuddoula raised his finger. Mahmudullah was on his way out, showing anger at himself by punching his bat. But suddenly he looked at the dressing room, turned around and took the review. On first view, it would look as if the ball had struck Mahmudullahs gloves in his attempt to paddle Rashid, but a side-on view confirmed why Sharfuddoula and Mahmudullah were right. The ball struck his pad and would have hit between middle and leg.The swatMashrafe Mortazas trouble facing the short ball has been around for more than a decade, and he has found different ways to combat this problem. Today, he employed the swat against Chris Woakes when Bangladesh were in desperate need of boundaries. But it was a shot that even he didnt think would end up where he intended: deep midwicket. He was looking behind him, thinking it had taken the top edge and gone behind the wicketkeeper. It went to midwicket where Jonny Bairstows misfield gave them the required boundary.The victims of the lengthEEngland bowlers picked up several wickets using the shorter length.dddddddddddd Chris Woakes removed Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes while Jake Ball and Ben Stokes removed Mushfiqur Rahim and even Shakib Al Hasan with deliveries of similar length. And so did Rashid, though he was fortunate to have Mosaddek Hossains wicket with a slow, short ball. The batsman tonked it right down deep midwickets throat.The confrontationBangladesh awaited the third umpires decision on Jos Buttler, who was struck in front with the leg-stump exposed. The batsmen and the fielders awaited the call. The Bangladesh dressing room started celebrating and from that the players in the middle started too. Mahmudullah was standing towards the batsmen, when he turned towards them and clenched his fists. After the on-field umpire made the signal, Buttler started to walk towards the Bangladesh fielders angrily. Gone was the happy expression that was Buttlers regular outlook throughout this tour so far. ' ' '
