Diren Dede , exchange student of Turkish descent , was committing a felony, if not for that he might be alive today.

Hmmm. So it might be the breaking and entering/trespassing that caused the problem?

In his Turkish homeland, he would have had his right hand cut off as punishment for theft...if caught by the police first. That's for a minor infraction.

My father was XO at 32nd St Naval Station San Diego (1970-1977). He received a call from the commanding officer of a Turkish vessel berthed at 32nd St. The CO was requesting permission to conduct an execution aboard his ship while still berthed. My dad denied the request. The CO then informed my dad that they would be casting off at daybreak to sail where they could conduct business. What act prompted a sentence of execution? A drunk enlisted sailor took a swing at the Officer of The Deck upon return from a night of drinking in San Diego.
