American has 20 days to appeal Iranian death sentence
Amir Mirzaie Hekmati, an American sentenced to death in Iran for espionage, has 20 days to appeal his case, according to Iranian law.
"If the sentence is appealed, then the Court of Appeals will hear the case. If not, then the sentence is final," judiciary spokesman Mohseni Ejeie, said Monday, according to the semi-official Iranian Student News Agency. The statement was the first by a judiciary official, regarding the trail and the sentence.
The semi-official Fars news agency reported earlier Monday that a court had convicted Hekmati of "working for an enemy country," as well as membership in the CIA and "efforts to accuse Iran of involvement in terrorism."

President A's handy work. Ransom time, so he can buy new digs and pay for his flights to other itsy bitsy peters countrries.
Yes, Scottish, that's it. These Iranians don't want to kill Mr. Hekmati, they want to sell him. They steal people, produce some kind of odd story that fits their "cause-of-the-day", threaten to kill them, or at least imprison them for years, then extort monet from their home country for their release. This type of action nets them money, propaganda, and attention. They do not seem to care that it also shines a focusing light upon their cowardice.
I know that many disagree with me, but I think that everything was much better under the Shah.

You also think there should be a king in the US and people should be beheaded for improper use of English i just read!
