Obviously if that was an issue, there would hardly be any cases to discuss, as people don’t tend to litigate over joyful events. But it’s more than a bit problematic–and quite morbid, frankly–to be glorifying or cheerleading one of the actual perpetrators in such a case.

This is more fun than following a Netflix series. Gone are the days of the old king busy tending to his harem, or drinking tea with his fellow emirs in a tent in the desert. If one believes all the stories out there about Prince Salman, we have the makings of a real badass king, a true Svengali in a desert kingdom. One has to assume that Dr.Aljabri’s attorneys have warned him not to show up at a Saudi consulate to renew his papers.
