I stole this from somewhere else explaining what's happened here and how he was found guilty without a "retrial".
Basically, the original decision found that "common law murder" was irrelevant, as Pistorius "did not subjectively foresee...a possibility, that he would kill the person behind the door, let alone the deceased as he thought she was in the bedroom".
The appeal court found that as Pistorius armed himself with a gun and fired four shots at the door, it was clearly reasonably foreseeable that death would come to the person on the other side of the door. As such, common law murder was committed.
Basically, on appeal, they found that original trial got it wrong when they said he hadn't committed murder by their legal definition. He did.

It's like a best of 7 series in the South African court system. His legal team may want to opt for the victory in the bank soon though.
