Yes. Why not! He has all the qualifications and standards to be a politician judging by the present standards.

Case is still pending. dont know why people here pre judge the case and IF they get acquitted blame the court.

All these murderers and rapists should be sentenced to death. That is the punishment that they all deserve. I hope when this case is reopned the courts will find the earlier sentensing was politically motivated and lienient. The punishment for this henious crime should be death penalty or at least life in prison.
