Pakistan court overturns murder conviction of Daniel Pearl's kidnapper. He's expected to be set free
A court in Pakistan has overturned the murder conviction and death sentence of one of the men involved in the killing of Jewish-American journalist Daniel Pearl.
Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh was found guilty on Thursday by the Sindh High Court in Karachi of the lesser charge of kidnapping, The Associated Press reported. He was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Sheikh has served 18 years in prison on death row. His attorney said he would be released in a matter of days, Reuters reported, and noted that three others who had been serving life sentences in connection with the case have been acquitted.
A Sindh prosecutor said he was considering an appeal of the decision, according to Reuters.
