Justice sometimes take a while

In 1988 Najvot Singh Sidhu was a big star and a permanent fixture in the Indian cricket team. That year he and a friend beat a man to death in a car-park. Sidhu was charged with murder and then acquitted, with a very bad smell left hanging over the case. Now, in 2006, Sidhu is no longer a cricketer but is (or was) a quirky commentator and a politician. A retrial has just found him guilty of "culpable homicide not amounting to murder" and he has been sentenced to three years in prison for the crime.
