Saudi Arabia has issued its final verdict in the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. But while they claim the case is closed, others are calling the trial a parody of justice. RT Americas Rachel Blevins reports. Then former Pentagon official Michael Maloof weighs in.
Poster Comment:
Saudi heads needed to roll, but the whole affair was white washed. We wonder whose toes Khashoggi stepped on that he ended up as fish bait.
What's interesting is that the identities of the perps are an official secret. That means what they may have done is found some lackeys in the street and charged them with the crime. Convicted, they go to jail anonymously. Then no one can say the guys is jail aren't the actual perps.
They may have also offered to pay some poor guys to be convicted and go to jail. They'd willingly take the offer for the benefit of their families if the sum was well above what they'd make in the 20 years time. That sort of thing does happen in countries where there are substantial class divides.

I had some Hindu from India send me an iPhone and cash. I was supposed to send the iPhone to India. But I had no way to get it done. So I took the phone over to the Sheriff's office and gave it to them.
That Hindu told me, "My friend in India is not a very nice guy."
I said to him, "What would Ghandi say? What would he think?"
India has a great class divide. They built a wall next to Taj Mahal to hide the slums from the visiting Presidential party. ;)
