More good news
The second trial of Naveed Haq has just concluded in Seattle ... and the jury found him guilty, not insane. (First trial was deadlocked on that question.)
Not clear from the article whether a death sentence will be considered, but that doesn't matter. The so-called "death sentence" is just a life sentence with first-class accommodations, while the so-called "life sentence" is comparatively more punitive.
Either way, he'll spend life in a real prison, not in the soft and easy-to-escape insane asylum. ¶ 1:02 PM
