Athlete Oscar Pistorius is in court for the fifth day of his sentencing hearing, after being convicted of killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius faces up to 15 years in jail, although Judge Thokozile Masipa may suspend the sentence or impose a fine.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel says if the court does not come up with a sentence that satisfies society, society might take matters into its own hands. Society would lose faith in the courts.
