Experts who investigated g. s murder said in a series of tweets the saudi prosecution performed one more act today in this parody of justice but these verdicts carry no legal all moral legitimacy she went on to say that crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon remained well protected against any meaningful scrutiny in his country and that the verdicts cant be allowed to whitewash what happened the saudi Prosecutor Says this causes the case both privately and publicly many say justice for her shoghi has not been served brian al jazeera.
