"A travesty of justice."  Absolutely agree.  Six years???

The article does go into the political ramifications involved, which makes me very unhappy with our political system that pressures theirs.  There is however the one element of "Civil Damages" going to the woman's family and while I think they are low by U.S. standards, but Philippine levels it may be a better deal.  The fact there is that it is "ransom" money to get him out and the money has been paid already.  This is often the case in the Philippine and other non-English based legal systems where a convicted person can buy themselves out of jail, and even the death penalty in many many countries.
