To all those so called callous sane "people" who have left such inhuman comments before me anyone can become mentally ill. I have chronic depression caused by things out of my control. Perhaps one day when it gets too much for you you may eat your words but i doubt it. Perhaps next time you knock people like this poor guy someone will put you in your place.Would you bring back cutting off hands for a starving kid steling a loaf of bread? Shame on you. The fact that the Prime Minister tried to intervene surely goes unnoticed?
My heart goes out to that guy and what his family must now bee going through.

Lets look at theis case for what it is. A man travels to a country to traffic illegal drugs. These drugs will probably kill and harm people who live in this or other countries. Every one who is involved in drug trafficing must know the consequences if caught in China. It is all too easy after the event to say the person is mentally ill etc....If he was, why did his family or lawyers not supply this evidence to the Chineese autorities. Obviously there was no doctors support or evidence.

China executes its own people for this crime. Why if it is a Westerner should the law be changed. Are we in the west so concieted to think our courts and laws should over ride a coutry like China?
On the streets of Britain, we have thugs walking the streets battering people to death and walking out of prison a few years later. These thugs would not even exist in China.
No, this man was set to make a fortune if he got away with his crime. he was caught end of.
If he had got way with it would he or his family given a second thought to the suffering of the people who take these drugs and the people who are abused by drug takers to get them. I think not
