Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a Tuesday Morning. Im matt lauer, along with hoda kotb, al roker and Natalie Morales. Savannah continues on maternity leave. And sad news about Oscar De La Renta. Yeah. I was at an event last night and there were a lot of people from the fashion world. When they heard the news, it was one of those dead stop moments there. He was an older man, but still surprising. He was a legend with incredible longevity in the fashion world. Well talk much more about him in a little while. Lets start on a Tuesday Morning with this breaking news, the sentence of olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, the judge handing down her decision overnight. National investigative correspondent jeff rossen has cover this had case from the very beginning. Jeff, good morning to you. Hey, matt, good morning to you. After everything, all the witnesses, all the talk, all the arguments, Oscar Pistorius is going to jail, sentenced to five years. The judge, as you mentioned, handing down her decision a short time ago saying, yes, pistorius is a firsttime offender. Yes, hes involved with childrens charities. But when he shot and killed his girlfriend, he was negligent, firing that gun four times into a bathroom, knowing someone was there, aggravating circumstances, the judge said, forcing jail time. Oscar pistorius, stoic, walking into court this morning. His freedom, his future on the line. And from the very start, it didnt look good for him. This would be a sad day for this country if an impression were to be created that there was one law for the poor and disadvantaged and another for the rich and famous. Reporter then the moment of truth. Mr. Pistorius, please rise. The following is what i consider to be a sentence that is fair. The sentence improsed is the maxim imprisonment of five years. Five years for killing his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp, guards immediately escorting him downstairs to a holding cell to be fingerprinted. Minutes later we watched as hes loaded into this police van, in custody. Given the fact that oscar was convicted of culpable homicide, i think this is a just and fair sentence. Sentenced to five years imprisonment. He only needs to serve a minimum of ten months, after which he could be plasd on house arrest. Reporter after the sentencing, oscars uncle, arnold pistorius, speaking with reporters. The court has now handed down judgment and sentence. And we accept the judgment. Oscar will embrace this opportunity to pay to pay back to society. Reporter and, of course, there are reevas parents. In court this morning, watching it all. The judge calling their daughter vivacious and full of life, hoping the sentence provides closure. He could be out in a year or more. It doesnt matter. Hes going to pay something. Do you think justice has been served . Yes. Mr. Steenkamp its been a long journey for you. Are you happy . Are you satisfied . We are satisfied. You heard oscars uncle saying they accept the judgment. Prosecutors could still appeal the verdict itself. Remember, theyre angry he wasnt convicted of murder, just culpable homicide, manslaughter. Here in america prosecutors cant appeal verdicts but in south africa, they can, if they feel the judge misinterpreted the law. They say theyre Still Deciding what to do. By the way, i should mention either wau, because of a firearms charge theyve deemed him unfit to have weapons. He has to hand them over, and his license. Wow jeff, thanks. Thanks, jeff. Appreciate it.

Ashoka mukpo tweeted from his hospital bed. Recovering from ebola is a truly humble. His best guess is that maybe he touched a surface and didnt wash up with breech quickly enough but i dont regret going to liberia to cover the crisis, he tweeted. That country was a second home to me and i had to help raise the alarm. Were thinking about rededicating his efforts to what comes next. For sure. I think theres no question about that. This experience is going to make him feel even more deeply the suffering of the people in liberia and the families.
