Let , and suppose the jumps of have absolute value at most . A nonconstant centered finite-variance Lévy process oscillates, so almost surely. Before the process lies in , and at its bounded overshoot gives . Thus the variables are uniformly bounded.
Apply the optional sampling theorem for a supermartingale to the martingale from part (c):
Bounded convergence theorem on the left and monotone convergence theorem on the right yield
