You find something wrong?? At least they are more civilized and not going to execute him.

Kinda familiar with this case - he was convicted based on the evidence in killing a 19 year old girl. He then tried to pay people off to avoid conviction. He is utterly stupid in his conduct and more than likely chance he would have been convicted in the US.

He is also entitled to a an appeal process which "should" be due in the next few months and clear any issues which may have been overlooked at his trial. Even now, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt - but he has a responsibilty to present credible evidence (he's had more than enough time to get his story correct) to appeal court judges.

Overall.. assume this is what you are referring to... some folks consider they can travel to other countries, ignore their laws, fuck with children, commit frauds, behave like idiots and knife people - then whinge and moan when they are arrested/convicted or thrown out of the country. Unfortunately, there are a high percentage of these idiots from North America - in fact, in some countries, - it's the major source of serious crime incidents.

Got no sympathy whatsoever for em - but ya also got to stay aware of wrongful conviction.
