Finally, sense comes to Nigeria -- Amina Lawal is free. The Shari'ah Court of Appeal yesterday overturned the sentence of death by stoning for the 31-year-old mother convicted of adultery in March 2002.
According to the court, the conviction was invalid because Lawal was already pregnant with her daughter at the time an Islamic court sentenced her to die.
Now, can we please be done with this stoning to death shit? Times change, people.
