Smith was tried, convicted, and put to death by a country whose justice system is very similar to ours, a liberal democratic society with due process, a lengthy appeals process, and high standards which must be met before issuing and carrying out a death sentence. Saudi Arabia, not so much. Trials and justice are swift. I can't understand why there'd be a perception of a double standard at all.
Fair trial for whom? Are you refering to Smith? He plead guilty to two murders, state law indicates he gets death for it, so as far as I can see, it's end of story. Or are you refering to Kahail? That's why the government is getting involved. Judging by the fact you say there is no double standard, I'm guessing you're refering to Smith. If that is the case, please let me know what wasn't fair about his trial because I fail to see it.
