It's an interesting case... where even the families of the victims think him innocent. He may just have been a convenient scapegoat.
Or a cold blooded mass murderer.
In the court of Allah (swt) there will be no doubts and justice will be served whatever that is.

Yup. There seems to be a marked difference of views on him in Britain compared with in the US (some scepticism over his conviction Vs certainty of guilt).
