    I THINK THE JUDGE APPEARED FOR THIS CASE MUST HAVE BEEN WAITING 22 YEARS , UNTIL HE GETS MATURED ENOUGH TO GIVE THE FINAL JUDGEMENT.

    We are able to get closure after 22 years. Justice delayed is Justice denied. Great.

    Better late than never! Nevertheless, I'm sure that the accused died many a deaths than the verdict just given! One cannot escape their own conscious and they shall PAY!

    Do any of these death sentences actually ever get carried out, or is it just life imprisonment?
