Pistorius starts serving 5 year jail term

INTRO:  Convicted South African paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been taken to prison to start serving the 5 year jail term handed to him for shooting and killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February last year. Judge Thokozile Masipa sentenced Pistorius to five year in prison after earlier finding him guilty of culpable homicide. He was also given a suspended 3 year sentence for earlier firing a gun in a public area. The Steenkamp family has expressed their satisfaction with a prison term as punishment. But as Gary Alfonso reports, Pistorius may not actually serve the whole sentence in prison.
