People looking for the Oscar Pistorius murder case ruling will have to wait until September 11, but his lawyer is on the campus and media blitz to slam the police for being "sloppy." Still the paralympian can avoid prison even if he's found accountable for girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp's killing.

According to the report by the Telegraph, lawyer Barry Roux has accused the police force of not doing their jobs right and for being corrupt, in relation to the Oscar Pistorius murder case, during a lecture to law students at University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg on Wednesday.

"There's tardiness, they don't take the docket to court. Sometimes they don't take it because they sold it. Or sometimes they don't take it because they have misfiled it," he said. "The biggest problem in South Africa is that there's a fair chance they [criminals] won't get caught - or if arrested, won't get tried."

The publication said that corruption is "widespread" in the South African police force, citing a case in 2010 when Jackie Selebi, the former chief of the South African national police, was imprisoned over corruption charges.

Meanwhile, Canadian national weekly current affairs magazine Maclean's, said Oscar Pistorius murder trial has redound to how the paralympian should be held accountable for the killing of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. But he can avoid prison altogether if he's convicted of a lesser charge.

Stephanie Findlay wrote for Maclean's if Oscar Pistorius is found guilty of culpable homicide, the sentence is not fixed and dependent on the judge's decision. She quoted Cape Town-based criminal law expert William Booth who said that if this is the case, "there is a good chance he may not be imprisoned."

The defense team in the Oscar Pistorius murder case trial for the killing of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp can also appeal the ruling for mistrial, especially on technicalities such as the judge's decision to allow the whole spectacle be broadcast on TV, said criminal law professor Stephen Tuson, according to the magazine.
