And funnily enough a great number of people who are up for sentencing do claim to have undiagnosed mental conditions which are normally taken at face value when submitted to the court by the defence.
I've mixed feelings, the guy obviously wasn't quite right, whether he wasn't right enough not to know what he was doing or that carrying 4 kilos of smack into China was a really bad idea isn't for me to say.
At the end of the day their country, their rules.
Strangely for a Government so opposed to the death penalty I don't remember the same outcry and demands for clemency when a certain dictator of a middle eastern country in between Saudi Arabia and Iran was facing the rope. |
