Oscar Pistorius, a doubleamputee athlete, made history by competing in the 2012 London Olympics. However, in 2013, he was arrested and later found guilty of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Despite his defense that he had mistaken her for an intruder, his conviction was upgraded to murder on appeal, and he was sentenced to 13 years and five months in prison in 2017. Pistorius’s story serves as a stark reminder of the dual nature of humanity, capable of both immense inspiration and severe wrongdoing.
