More on the Bouyeri sentencing

(The full verdict is here, by the way.)

Several bloggers have remarked on the fact that the judge didn't take away his active and passive voting rights.

However, the D.A. is still considering to appeal the verdict for precisely those reasons. The 'double jeopardy' doctrine doesn't exist in the Netherlands.

He has a fortnight to reach a decision. I'll keep you posted.
