PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) 鈥? offered $34,000 to the family of girlfriend after he killed her, but the family rejected the funds because they did not want "blood money," a prosecutor said Tuesday at the sentencing hearing for the double-amputee athlete.

Chief prosecutor also referred to separate payments of $550 that the Pistorius camp apparently made on a monthly basis to Steenkamp's family, but said those would be paid back in full. The revelations emerged while Nel was cross-examining a social worker who testified that Pistorius should be placed under house arrest, rather than sent to prison, after his conviction for culpable homicide, or negligent killing.

−
Social worker , one of four witnesses called by the defense, said South African jails are violent and overcrowded and that the athlete would be under particular duress because of his disability and fragile mental state resulting from the night when he fired four times through a toilet door in his home, killing Steenkamp. Pistorius testified he mistook her for an intruder about to attack him and denied prosecution assertions that he shot her during an argument.

Additionally, Vergeer said, Pistorius 鈥?who in 2012 was the first amputee athlete to run at the Olympics 鈥?has the potential to be a productive member of society again. A sentence of house arrest that includes periods of work at a school for disabled children would be more appropriate, she said.

Prison "will not assist him but will break him as a person," she said. "The exposure of the accused on his stumps to inmates will have a severe effect on him."

−
Prosecutor Nel challenged Vergeer, saying her knowledge of the South African prison system was limited and out of date. He asked why she didn't mention in her report on Pistorius that she knew the family of the woman he killed turned down a money offer. Nel also suggested the offer indicated Pistorius, who lost lucrative international sponsorships after he killed Steenkamp, had significant funds at his disposal even though his defense team has said his resources had dwindled.

−
Judge found Pistorius not guilty of murder for shooting Steenkamp, concluding he acted hastily and with excessive force, but didn't intend to kill Steenkamp. The judge has wide latitude when deciding on a sentence. Pistorius, 27, could receive a fine and a suspended jail term or as many as 15 years in prison for the negligent killing.
+
 
−
Vergeer and another social worker called to testify by defense lawyers recommended that Pistorius be given a three-year correctional supervision sentence, which would place him under house arrest for periods and require him to do community service. Prosecutors insist that would be inappropriate and say Pistorius should be sent to prison, citing the level of negligence he showed on the night of the killing when he grabbed his 9 mm pistol and fired four times through the door without checking who was behind it.

−
Chief prosecutor Nel said the hollow-point bullets Pistorius used in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14, 2013 did "terrible" damage to Steenkamp, who was hit in the head, arm and hip. Pistorius' lawyers have cited his emotional and financial suffering after the killing, and his disability, as reasons why he shouldn't be sent to prison.

−
Family members of Pistorius and Steenkamp attended the second day of the trial's sentencing hearing, which is expected to last around a week. Pistorius mostly sat looking down during Tuesday's testimony.

Pistorius' agent, , testified about what he called Pistorius' extensive charity work before the shooting and said Pistorius had now lost all his product endorsements because of the killing.

Cross-examining van Zyl, Nel said "You view Mr. Pistorius as a poor victim of this case." Van Zyl denied that.

has only good things to say about  chairman .

 

 / 
Martin Jol was a key figure in Tottenham Hotspur s rise in the early years of this century, but he was unceremoniously sacked in October 2007.

The Dutchman took charge of the North London club in November 2004 and led them to UEFA Cup qualification twice.

However, the 58-year-old failed to guide  to Champions League football, and that eventually cost him his job at White Hart Lane.

Many would think that Jol would be bitter about the way he was dismissed. After all, he made the team competitive and was not given the time required to take them a level higher.

But Jol does not bear any grudges towards Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and : I think I had a good understanding with him. We had a very good relationship...

 For Tottenham he is very good chairman and I have to say, even after <my>dismissal], I don t think he liked <doing> it. I want to be positive in life so when I think back I ve got good memories of him...

SEE ALSO: 
I don t want to be negative. He is who is. He s a serious man and I m a bit of the same but I can smile as well, he s a bit different from me of course, but we had good times there .

As years have gone, Tottenham have gone through a succession of managers, but they have played Champions League football. Spurs, though, have failed to break into the top four of the  on a consistent basis.

Should Martin Jol have been given more time at Tottenham Hotspur?

He has also been on the BBC in the past and his name once found its way to the pages of the World Soccer magazine.
