Allow me to extend, revise and respell my previous post.

Obviously, such a display of wanton flesh is an Offense Against God, and a Crime Against Humanity ™. A Saudi judge would have as much right (applying his cultural norms) to call AJ before him and order her spanked as the Spanish judge has in this Iraqi case.

Spanked I say! Naughty, naughty AJ!

Unless of course only upright Europeans have some sort of moral superiority that Saudis do not have.

I buzzed over RF’s contentions that Double Jeopardy is an Anglo-Saxon concept. I think he is wrong. I would certainly like to see a case of double jeopardy in American law. Americans cannot be tried twice for the same offense. Same same for most people in the world.
