well if the court saya he not guilty ..then he is not ..
for us we dont know what happened in the court ..maybe he brought new evidenc proving he was under drug ..but how,when or what type of drugs we dont know yet ..
Lets not anticipate events and wait for more clarification
Naruto, if it was you, or uaekid, or any other local, do you really believe that you would get the same treatment?? Do you really believe that the fact that he's from the Royal Family doesn't factor in??? Unfortunately justice isn't served when one man decides the innocence or guilt of another.
I can understand you and uaekid defending the UAE. What he did was criminal and barbaric and unfortunately it became an international scandal for the UAE and the Royal Family. You are no different than me defending the US, or a Brit defending the UK, or an Indian defending India when something negative happens that has an impact on the country and everyone else jumps on board to add to the embarrassment that we feel for our country.
But it is so obvious that he was guilty and that his "defense" was fabricated. There is no doubt that special treatment would be given to the offspring of any country's President, Ruler, Dictator, King, Sultan, or whatever. But should the common man be found to have done the same crime, the court would do everything to see that he (or she) receives the maximum punishment allowable by law.
You need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture and see it for what is it. The case was nothing short of being a public exercise to show that the crime was addressed through a trial and based on the "evidence", which goes beyond being even remotely believeable, the accused is excused and not held accountable for his actions, but everyone else who was there has been rightfully punished. Justice served. You know how justice is spelled here: JUST-IS. Which means that regardless of what you think of the outcome it JUST-IS, because one man, a judge, said so.
This "trial" was to appease the international community, but all it did was to bring further embarrassment on the country, and unfortunately for the Royal Family. It has created a question of credibility on them on an international level. Actually, it is insulting that they would actually think that any fairly intelligent person would believe that story, never mind the international community.
On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if your dialogue is quite different when sitting around with the boys and discussing this.
