A Saudi trial to bring justice to the killers of journalist Jamal Khashoggi has been shrouded in secrecy and moving at a slow pace

In a Riyadh courtroom, prosecutors have outlined evidence implicating a top lieutenant of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to Saudi officials not authorized to speak publicly.

But the aide, Saud al-Qahtani, isn’t among the 11 Saudis on trial for the murder last October and won’t face any charges, the officials said, despite pressure from the U.S.

Did King Henry II of England 'order' the murder of Archbishop Thomas à Beckett, when he cried out, within earshot of his knights: 'Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?'

My guess: none of the hit team will be executed. Either Saudis will anounce some have been executed in private:, or they publicly execute non-Saudi stand-ins. Problem, what to do about the supposedly executed hit men still alive and well?

So What! It's death penalty case 🧐 So be it

First retrieve the corpse to proove Khashogi died. No corpse, no murder. Missing OnVacations EnjoyingCarrebeans

maggieNYT And why are the Saudis our allies? MBS is a cold blooded killer. Of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 16 were Saudis. Sure sounds like they meet all of the criteria to be a strong, trustworthy ally for America.

MichalOlson10 And nothing will be done..

A SAUDI trial? Are we even pretending that the SAUDI trial is a thing?

maggieNYT No S**t

SO PLEASE DONT!!

maggieNYT YOU KNOW WHAT? I REALLY DONT CARE. HE WAS SAUDI. DO YOU CARE ABOUT ME? ABSOUTLY NOT. DO UCARE ABOUT OUR AIRCRAFT, &EXTORTION. WHY THEY DIDN'T ( KUWAITI POLICE OR CID OR FOREIGN AFFAIR) DID NOT HELP ME .NO YOU DONT. SO I DONT CARE, UNTIL YOU CARE ABOUT A US VET.

maggieNYT Duh...

maggieNYT ....MBS on trial..oh yeah, fall guys not the ring leader

The world knows that MBS ordered it but Trump and Jared and Pompeo won't say anything negative about MBS. MONEY involved. Trump says nothing negative against Putin as there is probably blackmail. In love with Kim. And that folks is the President of the USA. Dangerous times

brianlewis3282 Nice work Scooby-Doo. Here's a clue.

maggieNYT Call it the sham it is.

maggieNYT maybe the Wall Street Journal can shed some light on this?...

Justice on royalty?!

The Kingdom of Saud is now the Kingdom of Satan. Despicable people.

A Saudi murdered on Saudi soil. It’s an internal matter. Not our business

Fake news. Diplomats from the the US, the UK, France, Russia, China and Turkey were invited to each court hearings since the beginning of the case.

Mind your business, never say anything about Saudi’ justice, they know what are they doing. Your hidden goal is clear to us so you’re just wasting time.

What trial? It's a joke!

yashar I hope that nobody is wondering why.

No justice until MbS-13 is gone

Alex what is a court case that is just for show'. The person that needs to prosecuted is MBS justiceforJamalKhashoggi

do you know anything about saudi trials ? espically murder cases it takes years

MSM is not showing because it's not TRUMP negative reporting

SenToomey I can’t seem to get you to care about migrant kids. Maybe justice for a guy chopped up? I know you want to take on justice for puppies but maybe ...

And this is America's ally in the Middle East. Shame.

Whether the trial had any news or not is simply none of your business. It’s an internal Saudi Arabian matter, stop intervening in other countries’ affairs.

Hhhhmm why?

Wait, MBS is on trial for murder?

Justice delayed is Justice denied. MBS has to come up like a man and acknowledge that he gave green signal to KhashoggiMurder. This will increase his respect. I am kind of a serious. Yes.

SOUNDS LIKE A COVERUP

Saudi trial ? They will find some scapegoats .. and wash the face of the real assassin ?

yashar I see MBS's friendship with Rupert is paying dividends.

What justice have you brought to those who killed tens of thousands Iraqis, Afghanis and Syrians and what justice have you brought to those tortured and humiliated in Abu Guraib prison?

About 3 fake news per day in the US media every day

yashar Jared’s buddy.

So what? It's none of your damn business. The Saudi legal system operates within their own timeframe. Why don't you focus on death-row prisoners in the United States? They're left for DECADES in solitary confinement. Damn HYPOCRITES.

Killer? You are looking at him

Justice? If you guys dont shut up about it the saudis will just end up convicting some random innocent guy and hang him and then what justice will he get? They are never going to prosecute their prince

Is it lead by Willam Barr?

Because it is a sham.

This damn man kills lots of innocent people in Yemen, he all the time act as a vampire that no one important for him

How secret and ambassadors of states attend trials?
