Our boys in Congo…

Mood: My head hurts… D=
Listening to: nothing, my head hurts…

It’s been a while since I wrote about our two boys in Congo.
Joshua French and Tjostolv Moland.
The appeal has started now, because they were given life for espionage, murder etc.
Lately both of them got sick with Malaria… and they had to wait a few days before getting the medicine they need.
Moland snapped, poor thing. When he was in court last week he had serious mood swings, laughed one minute and started to cry the next. And he tried to leave several times, but he was brought back by the guards or French stopped him. They, Moland and French, also had a fight in their cell, and Moland moved out after that. He also was taken away to the hospital to see if they could do something about his erratic behaviour.
The newspapers say he’s getting better, but I don’t know. I think he’s still in the hospital. And hopefully they aren’t making him sleep all the time.
We haven’t really learned anything new of late…
Well, that’s not all true.
The murder weapon the driver was supposedly killed with was found in Norway, in the National Guards possession. It has never left Norway, and even better, it’s a softgun. It shoots rubber bullets.
A letter was sent to the Foreign department naming three congolese soldiers for killing the driver.
My guess is that Moland and French might be MAYBE, HIGLY UNLIKELY get pardoned for the murder, but they’ll make sure the espionage bit, the conspiracy to commit robbery and whatnot… all of those charges will still stick. They might get a lighter sentence… however, I doubt it..
My other guess is.. they’ll blame it all on Norwegian spies and throw out any evidence that says the guys are innocent.
Heck, even Foreign Department guys are being accused of giving Moland a drug that made him crazy.
the judge ordered Moland checked out by three different doctors to figure out what’s wrong with him… and three different doctors are hard to find, I guess.
So the court is adjourned till the guys are well enough to come to the courtroom.

Darn swine flu…
it’s taking the focus away from the guys…
I hope, if they are given lighter sentences, that they are allowed to serve the time in Norway.
I don’t think the environment down there is good for them… if they are to serve their time there, they won’t last long…
