I have witnesses justice bending double in Saudi Arabia for two groups of people. One are the Saudis and the other the western lot. I also feel the victim in this case may have been a foreigner possibly an Asian, otherwise the case would have taken and different turn with the man made to face the sword had a Saudi girl been raped. The other group who hail from the west receive a "Royal Pardon" even if they have murdered somebody in the kingdom. Death by the sword in S Arabia is just for people from third world countries.
