Lahore High Court (LHC) has annulled the death sentence handed to former president Pervez Musharraf, ruling that a special court which found him guilty of high treason was unconstitutional, according to a government law officer.
Following the LHC ruling, the ex-president is now a "free man," Ishtiaq A. Khan, Additional Attorney General of Pakistan, who represented the government in the case, told AFP. The whole process against Musharraf - including the creation of a special court - was deemed to be void.
LHC "has declared everything from the initiation of the complaint and its conclusion unconstitutional," Khan said, as cited by Reuters.
Earlier in the day, Musharraf's lawyer Azhar Siddique told the media outside the court that the judges have "nullified everything" against his client.

A provision to hang Musharraf's body in front of parliament for three days, should he perish before the death sentence could be carried out, was included in the verdict by one of the judges and sparked a backlash. It was branded "unprecedented and despicable" by Law Minister Farogh Naseem, who called for the "mentally unfit" judge to be ousted.
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.

Of course Israel would release Palestinian prisoners. They are just gonna bomb and kill them once they get back to the strip.
Darn. I was waiting for "it depends on what the meaning of is, is" or at least "... but he didn't inhale."
Unfortunately, U.S. intelligence agencies cannot be believed. Every word uttered serves a purpose and its reflection of objective truth...

That statement doesn't mean the ruler's of the anthill can't just snatch up John Q and do their devilry against him. What it means is that what they do is fraud from the beginning of social contract until revolution.
There is a reason behind why there are so many words in English that have double, triple, or more meanings outside the "court" and within.
The word "court" itself can mean how many things?
This is why the "Court" demands the "plaintiff" "hires" a "lawyer". Because some group of jackhells have to make determination of the application of the words in the text so eventually a sentence can be applied.
Some really devious never-been-Semitics-but-claim-to-be thought all of this up, over a long period of time.
