Took’s appeal dismissed, death term upheld for Huang Na’s murder
That the death sentence is upheld comes as no surprise. What is interesting though, is that it was not a unanimous judgement. Now, i can probably count on one hand the total number of Court of Appeal Judgements that i have read which was not unanimous. So seeing dissenting Court of Appeal judgements is a rare thing indeed, and occurs only once in a very blue moon.
As for the clemency appeal, that is a forgone conclusion. There is like, only one case in memorable history that the President has ever excercised his right to grant clemency. You are more likely to strike lottery than succeed in a clemency appeal.
Anyways, back work. I am totally swamped by work and i expect this sorry state of affairs to last til CNY, which is when my deadline ends.
“He deserves death.”
“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.” - Gandalf, to Frodo in LOTR
