#2 The jury was not told he was Idi Amin's son because it was felt it would prejudice his case.

They might have let Wangita off solely because he didnt eat anyone!

It is estimated that up to 500,000 people disappeared during Idi Amin's brutal eight-year regime in Uganda

With only a belch to signify their passing. As Idi Amin used to say, Some of my best friends are hors doeuvres.

They lived in exile in Saudi Arabia, where many of the family remain. The family was given a huge monthly allowance and in return Idi Amin was asked to remain silent and out of politics. It was a bargain he kept up to his death in 2003, aged 78.

Do we even want to know what he was bribed to remain silent about? Good old Saudi Arabia, facilitating the very worst mankind has to offer. I hope Im around to see Saudi Arabia pay the piper. The entertainment value alone should be tremendous.

But Wangita's lawyer David Spens QC said his previous convictions "don't establish any pattern of committing any offences of violence".

No, never! Used to send his mother flowers and all that! Let's see here: Weapons possession, fraud, threatening behavior. Nope, nope, no pattern of committing any offences of violence there at all. This solicitor needs to spend time having an exceedingly lengthy one-on-one conference with Wangita at his clients new residence.
