Death Sentence in North Queensland

Anyone who thinks the death sentence only takes place in "barbaric" countries should read Alan Ramsey's article today in the Sydney Morning Herald on the case of the death of Mulruni, an aboriginal man, while in police custody (http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/political-inaction-endorses-brute-force/2006/09/29/1159337342017.html)

It seems that the police officer was witness, accuser, judge and executioner all in one. Very efficient justice system which many "barbaric" countries would envy !
