| 2020-05-03 |
| [DAWN] The parents of murdered US journalist Daniel Pearl filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Pakistain on Saturday to reverse a decision overturning the longstanding convictions of four men in the case. The Sindh High Court (SHC) had last month acquitted the main accused, British-born Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and three other men convicted in Pearl's 2002 kidnapping and beheading. "We have filed an appeal of this decision to the Pakistain Supreme Court," Pearl's father, Judea Pearl, said in a video message. "We are standing up for justice not only for our son but for all our dear friends in Pakistain so they can live in a society free of violence and terror and raise their children in peace and harmony."

| #1 Oh, for the good old days. I still remember reading a contemporaneous account of a Colorado railroad wage argument ending in the murder of the chief engineer. The sheriff locked up the perp, but the other workers dragged him down the stairs from the jail, banging his head all the way down the stairs, and strung hm up. 24-hour turnaround. |
