“I know we have capital punishment here, but it sure isn’t PUBLIC.”
Us versus them:
We are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
We are tried by a jury of our peers.
We have sentencing hearings.
They have one religious dude that makes up a judgement depending on how he feels that day.
To tell you the truth I don't know the particulars of the current Saudi justice system. It's changed tremendously over the years, especially with the influx of all the other nationals working and living there.
I do know that if an American breaks the law in a BIG WAY, the COMPANY (not the country, because I don't know) sends the wife and children home and the MAN goes to a Saudi prison...and rots.
They DO have prisons and even ONE woman's prison.
