Meshael Alayban ---Where is she?
Remember that Saudi princess who was charged with human trafficking when one of her house servants escaped the Orange County house where she was being held and forced to work (according to the charges)?
Well, it seems Meshael Alayban failed to show for her arraignment on July 29, so the judge merely postponed said arraignment until September 20.
That's what I said. Back in the pre-Prohibition days when I was a DEA agent, if you failed to show for a court appearance, your bail was forfeited and a warrant was issued.

And who posted the $5 million bond for the princess?
The Saudi consulate (Hat tip Atlas Shrugs).

My guess is that she is long gone back to Saudi Arabia and that they will just forfeit the bail.
ReplyDeleteI said back then that they should have made the bail 10 or 20 million if they wanted to get some revenue for the city. It was pretty predictable that she was not going to subject herself to the jurisdiction of the infidel court to pass judgement on what, she, a princess, feels is ok.

I see that there is one law for the Muslims and another for the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteTheirs is called Sharia. Our law is called the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteAlthough she was a guest here, she still followed Sharia law. In fact, most Muslims feel the world should be under Sharia law.
But for here and now and hopefully forever more the Constitution is the law here and the picture of this princess behind prison wire and in prison garb is a reminder of that.
Except that she has been bailed out by the Saudi consulate and failed to show for her court appearance, which was then postponed. Go figure.
ReplyDelete"Go figure" ?
ReplyDeleteIt was completely predictable that the Saudis would put up the bail and it is highly likely that she has already left the country and will not show up at the next trial date. So they forfeit the bail. So what?
No doubt she follows Sharia law and would not submit to any other laws or courts that would presume to judge her.
It was good though to see the princess behind prison wire and wearing prison issue garb though.
I hope that image of her is put on TV in the Muslim countries. Our president might be a wimp without a policy and our attorney general a sellout, but there are loads of police, sheriffs, and other law enforcement officials who prosecute OUR laws.

One thing I agree with Miggie on. Its always good to see a princess behind bars. Its the next best thing to what happened to Marie Antoinette.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it was completely predictable. This may at least cut down on Saudi princesses settling down in the United States to live.
