    Rather clearly biased, but it's hard not to be with a story like this. What do you guys think?

    Just, uh, sucks to be him.

    Another reason why religion should have no place in any legal system.

    Yes, that is unfortunate. But, we can't do anything, because it is their law (I guess Double-Jeopardy is allowed over there :rolleyes: ). It is not his fault, and he shouldn't been killed, especially if he is truly innocent, but there is nothing anyone can do.

    What really gets me is at the top of the second page.
    Even under the double system, it still isn't legal? :confused: If that's true, then how does this possibly stand?!

    The courts could just be mock courts, with some ruler behind it... I don't know the Pakistani situation, but it is possible.

    "There's no justice," is a common saying. And sometimes no law either, which seems to be the case here. But as several others have noted, there's nothing any of us can do, except hope the President of Pakistan suffers an attack of decency.

    I wouldn't hold my breath. Sad as it is, that man is likely to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
