“Can anybody tell me what this is?” Dharma asked, displaying the five-”legged” animal he had just picked up off the beach.

“Thank you so much. Don’t forget us. Drop by often. I’m so happy you came,” she said with tears running down her cheeks.

Bicara Tentang Eksekutor yang „Takut“ Dieksekusi Mati
Hari ini ada berita menggelikan yang saya baca di KOMPAS.COM, yang menyebutkan jika Tim Pembela Muslim (TPM), kuasa hukum terpidana mati Amrozi Cs, mengajukan pemahaman pengujian undang-undang nomor 2/PNPS/Tahun 1964 tentang tata cara pelaksanaan pidana mati.
Dalam berita ini disebutkan jika TPM mengajukan permohonan uji materi kepada Mahkamah Konstitusi, Rabu (6/8). Menurut salah satu anggota TPM, AW Afnan mengatakan bahwa UU 2/PNPS/Tahun 1964 disahkan Presiden Soekarno dan menjadi dasar pelaksanaan hukuman mati saat ini.
