#2 Laws are always passed with a "Geandfather" clause, that means that crimes commirred before the law was passed are not subject to the new law, they must be prosecuted under the old laws then in effect at the time of the crime's commission.

This prevents "Revenge" laws from being implemented.

Example, Okay we have to do something about all those repeat Jaywalkers, lets pass a law that Jaywalking convictions carry the Death Penalty, no appeal, now search the files for past-convicted Jaywalkers and Hang them.

Nope, can't do that.

#4 When I first saw the headline, I was worried about my relatives in West Virginia. But then I read the first sentence and realized that they were referring to some Australian guy.

#5 I believe Redneck is referring to 'ex post facto law' which is Constitutionally prohibited. However, there was no precedent for Nuremberg which the US participated in and who's entire proceedings were 'ex post facto'. Now the SCOTUS ruled in 1946 in Yamashita versus Styer that the tribunals were legit. That resulted in several deaths, including Yamashita's. What the recent SCOTUS ruling governed was the composition of the tribunals as authorized by the legislative branch, not the specific crimes and their punishments as previously executed.
