• The condemned man, named as Alireza M, was found alive in a morgue after being hanged at a jail in the north-eastern city of Bojnord last week.
  He is now being nursed to recovery in preparation for his repeat execution.
  

• "The verdict was the death sentence, and it will be carried out once the man gets well again," an official said.

Like when in the ER, a doctor will be like "Yeah, you died for a few seconds, but came back." Point is, they hanged him, and he probably died. Let 'im go.

That's actually a very good point ! He should be able to argue that he was officially declared dead by the doctor and that he has therefore carried out his sentence.

"The world's first completely preserved adult hominid skull from the
early Pleistocene era looks surprisingly different from other skulls of
the same era, yielding a remarkable insight: Man’s early ancestors
appeared as physically diverse as humans do today, researchers said, and
our family tree has perhaps fewer branches than today's schoolbooks
teach."

1. Have a theory
   
2. Present theory
   
3. Theory widely accepted as the evidence is sound
   
4. New research debunks old theory and new one takes its place
   
5. Rinse and repeat

I can totally see you becoming a lawyer specialising in unearthing loopholes.

Obviously this is an asshole thing to do, but at the same time, I wonder if they were upset about the cat being allowed to roam in such a hazardous area? She did lose a leg after all. Stealing her was not the right solution but that's my take on why they might have done it. I know I've called the police twice over animal abuse in my area.
