Facts are nice to include on FR threads. =^) It looks like the two major concerns here are the 2+ year wait for a trial, and Mr. Maher's confession. He may be an greedy idiot or mentally unstable (stabbing himself would be a pretty clear indicator). He may be the victim of a frame-up (as the FREE HIM threads hint). This is what trials decide.
The big questions:
Why hasn't there been a trial yet?
Should America allow its citizens, guilty or not, to spend 29 months in a foreign jail (or US jail for that matter) without a trial?
When was that confession first made?
Was an autopsy performed in the victims?
Should America allow its citizens, guilty or not, to spend 29 months in a foreign jail (or US jail for that matter) without a trial?
We have jurisdiction over how the Monaco government runs it's judicial system?
I guess then that the Sudan has a right to demand the freedom of Sudnaese-American Muslim that decides to kill a Christian on American soil, since that's not really a crime back in the homeland.
