Former Olympic and Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius has been denied the right to appeal his murder conviction by the constitutional court of South Africa. The 29-year-old will be sentenced for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp on April 18, as reported by SportsCentre.
A six-time Paralympic gold medal winner, Pistorius shot and killed his then-girlfriend Steenkamp in 2013, per CNN. According to BBC's Milton Nkosi, he's currently on house arrest as he awaits the sentencing phase of his murder conviction.
