The double-amputee Olympian now faces at least 15 years in jail — a new sentence will be handed down at a later date.

Judge Aubrey Ledwaba set bail at 10,000 rand ($688) Tuesday after defense lawyer Barry Roux told the court in Pretoria that the athlete agreed to remain on house arrest but with “stricter provisions.”

Pistorius’ bail is a fraction of the $113,000 bail he paid when he first appeared in court for the fatal shooting.

A judge convicted Oscar Pistorius of culpable homicide Friday in the death of his girlfriend, ruling that the former track star was negligent when he opened fire in his home after hearing what he said sounded like an intruder in a bathroom in the middle of the night.
.

The judge acquitted Pistorius of a more serious murder charge, a day after saying that the onetime Olympian could have called security guards or screamed for help on the balcony instead of grabbing his handgun and blasting multiple rounds through the door of a toilet stall.
