Once upon a time, 11 years ago in China's Hubei Province, a man was convicted of murdering his wife. The man had been feuding with his wife and she'd dissappeared shortly thereafter. When a body turned up in a local river -too decomposed to identify- the family of the wife claimed that the husband had killed her. He was tortured into making a statement and to end his suffering, he pleaded guilty to the crime under extreme duress.
Last week, the wife was 'reborn' after 11 years. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes (or to be more accurate, like a woman who left her husband, moved 5 hours away, remarried and started a new life for herself by not keeping in touch with the estranged family she'd left behind) she came back to visit relatives who were shocked to learn that she was not dead, but rather re-married with children. (Which is worse? One might ask...)
The now ex-husband, who was first awarded the death penalty, was then placed in a maximum security (break your friggin' legs once a month) prison was released last week for a re-trial. After his re-trial (and assumed acquittal, on account of his wife being ALIVE) he will sue the courts for compensation.
The courts claim that there were no DNA facilities 11 years ago.
Were common sense facilities available in China 11 years ago?
Was there not a shadow -nay, AN ECLIPSE- of a doubt to his guilt?
That, my friends, we shall find out in due time. For the article in it fully depressing hilarity, click here. peace. paul.
