B.Biggles' point is also well made. An appeal may not have ended well. A possibly innocent may may now be able to die in freedom OR a guilty man has been shown compassion. The Scot's can be justifiably smug.

I appreciate your point, However I am devoid of compassion.
I put myself in his position, and unfortunately the position of many innocent men. If I am innocent I would fight to clear my name. I would rather die proclaiming my innocence than shut up, do my stir and get an early parole for having repented of my crime. Even if that means I die protesting.
I think of Stefan Kisco, the Birmingham six, John Kamara, the Guilford bombers, and lately Sean Hodgeson. All innocent men who protested their innocence until somebody was forced to find out the truth.
