How does the fortune teller predict that will turn out?

This fellow's plight has received zero interest in human rights
circles. A lot of people cannot conceal their wish that Al Gore was in
his place. 'Predicting the future' (known pejoratively as 'fortune
telling' in legalese) is universally a criminal code offence. Only
Japan and Saudi Arabia have seen fit to show respect for their own
laws.

Legal defense: If he really is a sorcerer, he would have
known NOT to set foot in Saudi Arabia. By traveling to
SA and allowing himself to be arrested for a capital
offense he has proved that he is not a sorcerer.

Or maybe he IS a sorcerer, but one so clever that he knew
in advance that he can fool the SA legal system by using
the above defense.

He could be a suicide sorcerer, and when they cut his head off
the whole world ceases to exist (for him). My cat (or "familiar"
as some like to say) hides under the rug where he can't see me,
waiting to pounce as I walk by, and that means I can't see him!
(Just the lump in the rug, but he doesn't know that.)

What's wrong with witchcraft? Beats what we have now.
