Raymond Davis indicted on two charges in Pakistan

I say good. Time to clean up this Blackwater Act

<snip>
A Pakistani court on Wednesday charged US national Raymond Davis on two counts of murder despite claims from Washington that the accused enjoyed diplomatic immunity.

Former special forces soldier, Davis, 36, was arrested in the eastern city of Lahore Jan 27 for allegedly shooting dead two motorcyclists in what he claimed was an act of self-defence.

Several US officials attended the hearing under tight security in Kot Lakhpat Jail, where Davis was indicted on Wednesday by trial court judge Mohammad Yousuf Ojla.

Asad Manzoor Butt, a lawyer representing the victims, said that the court was also expected to charge Davis for possession of an illegal weapon.

Hadn't heard about a release and haven't seen a link.

I see we meet in the morning for a must win game (for both sides). :hi:

6. BBC had a good report
The newly wed widow said she didn't want money since it can't replace her husband.
Apparently they were coerced into taking money. Justice my ass!
