Well it is a new start for Hisham Talaat Mustafa regardless if he is really innocent or really guilty more than Mohsen El-Sokery.
The cessation court has accepted his appeal and now the Suzanne Tamim trial will start from the scratch again ,which means we got another two years of media circus.
I do not know about El-Sokery but according to experts Hisham will not face the death penalty but either a prison time or he will be cleared from all charges.
Most people expected this not because they are convinced by his innocence but rather convinced that the rich can get away with any crime in this country.
Of course those people ignore the fact that more than 90% of death penalty cases appeals are accepted in the cessation court as we are dealing with people's life here.
By the way today is a busy day for Hisham because not only he has escaped from the gallow but also he has a date at the public prosecution as a witness/expected accomplice in the huge corruption scandal of former housing minister Ibrahim Soliman
Of course Al Mehewer and Orbit channels have aired the whole thing on air , the rest of the channels will follow their footsteps hours later.
It all comes down to the reasons the Court of Cassation accepted the appeal. I think he will get the death penalty in the end. Also, I laugh every time I hear those saying he is a good man, he might not be a killer but he is not clean at all.
ReplyDeleteGlad General Prosecutor is brining him into questioning for Ibrahim Soliman.
