The double-amputee Olympian -- Oscar Pistorius is back in court to receive a new sentence for murdering his girlfriend.

The hearing is expected to last several days before the judge announces the new sentence later this week. The minimum punishment for murder in South Africa is 15 years in jail.

Pistorius initially received a five-year sentence for culpable homicide for shooting his girlfriend inside his home. Pistorius says he mistook her for an intruder. South Africa's Supreme Court upgraded his conviction to murder during an appeal.
