Default Re: Chinese official given death penalty for corruption

[ QUOTE ]
100 people in Panama recently died from cough syrup made in China. I would think that had an equal or bigger effect than the pet food incident.

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, and a number of people in China also died from bad antibiotics, baby formula, etc... Unfortunately, the pet food incident is the bigger deal because it happened to people in the US. This gets to the crux of my question. If those people in China, Panama, and wherever else died in part because of this guy's corruption, but no pets or people in the US were affected, would he be getting the death penalty?

I guess By-Tor's wife answered that. Ms By-Tor: Is it normal for a death penalty to be changed to life in prison or whatever after an appeal, or is he pretty much done for?
