    Oscar Pistorius applies to appeal murder conviction

    South African Oscar Pistorius has applied to appeal his murder conviction, AFP reports.

    Pistorius rose to fame for competing in the 2012 Olympics as a sprinter, even though doctors amputated both of his legs when he was less than a year old.

    More recently, he was found guilty of murder for shooting and killing his girlfriend through a bathroom door.
