Double Jeopardy

According to grunge.com  from 1978 to 1995, Bertil Fox was a professional bodybuilder, one who peaked with a fifth-place finish at the 1983 Mr. Olympia competitions. Sadly, his retirement didn't provide his life, or anyone else's, with anything good. Instead, on September 30, 1997, in the island nation St. Kitts and Nevis, Fox shot and killed his ex-fiance, 20-year-old Leyoca Brown, and also murdered her mom for good measure. He was quickly arrested and charged with the two murders.

The following year, Fox went on trial, which resulted in a hung jury and Fox initially going free. However, the authorities of Saint Kitts and Nevis knew he was guilty and would not let the non-verdict stand. Because the nation allows for double jeopardy, Fox was retried. This time he was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. Upon appeal by human rights lawyers, his hanging penalty was deemed unconstitutional, and he was instead sentenced to life in prison.

Cutural Assimilation

Tibetans will soon be swallowed by China, but look at how they have adapted to life in India and have culturally assimilated. Living in India for so long, they have been cases when they  misbehave with Indians. They don't treat  Indians with respect and expect them to do manual jobs for them, according to author Tim Johnson in his book, "Tragedy In Crimson." Most Tibetans call India their second home. They are Indians!
