		</div><p>A South African judge has dismissed an appeal by prosecutors for a harsher sentence against Oscar Pistorius, who was found guilty of murder for killing his girlfriend in 2013.</p>
<p>Judge Thokozile Masipa said that the state&#8217;s appeal to extend the six-year sentence against the 29-year-old double amputee Olympic sprinter had a limited prospect of success.</p>
<p>Pistorius shot Reeva Steenkamp, 29, in the early hours of February 14.</p>
<p>He claimed he thought she was an intruder. The state charged that he shot her in anger after an argument.</p>
<p>Pistorius was found guilty of murder and sentenced by Judge Masipa to six years in prison.</p>
<p>Prosecutor Gerrie Nell said the sentence was &#8220;shockingly light&#8221; and that the judge should have used a 15-year minimum as a starting point.</p>
