Bear in mind that in Pakistan there are two distinct legal systems. A state legal system and a far more nonsensical theological system, the two often come into conflict.
Today there was a news story of a British Pakistani man on death row who is to be executed next month after a long time in jail. He accidentally shot a taxi driver in self-defense after the driver pulled a gun on him. In the struggle that ensued, the taxi driver was shot. This man subsequently drove the taxi with the injured driver to the nearest police station so he could get medical assistance, and the guy was then arrested.
His initial sentence was overturned in a regular court of law, only for him to be re-trialled and found guilty in a religious court. The guy was already acquitted once, he shouldn't have been taken back to court.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
