But one thing special about it is that ...the family of the victim can pardon the killer eventhough the the court had fixed the sentence ...even till the very very last minute ....like seconds before the Arabian Sword is raised ....
I just saw in the daily a week ago one man who accidentally killed his fren was only pardon just seconds before the sword landed on his head. Gosh he must be scared to death.
One thing i find very interesting is that when a death sentence is passed ...many parties actually approached the victims family to ask for forgiveness from religious leaders, village leader to sometimes government officials ( especially when it was a blatant accident ) ....after all if its always an eye for an eye , the whole world will be blind...
but sometimes it also involves compensation to the victims family ( a few months before the daily qouted a case where the manhas to give the victim's family Saudi Riyal 1.2million ( 1 USD = Riyal 3.75 ) plus a fancy car.
