bc - Iraq does not have the same laws pertaining to death that the US does...I remember news reports saying that once he (or anyone) is sentenced to death, that the sentence has to be carried out within thiry days. So that means he is not even around for his second trial (I wondered about this, but you can't kill someone twice).

There are two men charged with him who were to be hanged at the same time he was.

I think Death Row in Iraq is a pretty short one, from the little I have seen.
