Bin Laden doctor to be retried

Apparently the judge at the original trial had exceeded his authority but it is feared the next judge will come to the same decision.

Quote:

Officials in Pakistan have overturned the jail sentence and ordered a retrial of a doctor who helped the CIA in their search for Osama Bin Laden.
Shakil Afridi was charged with treason and tried under the tribal justice system for running a fake vaccination programme to gather information.
He was jailed for 33 years in May 2012 and has been held since then at Peshawar Central Jail.

Sod his shoes, think of all the doctors and nurses on genuine health programs who have been murdered since the fake vaccination program was publicised.

Crikey, has it been that long? Time sure does fly. Only seems like it was last year.

oh, perhaps they meant that he was sentenced to 33 years.
