It's a bit more complicated than that. There's an appeals process that's something like three months. The hearers of the appeal, once they decide to take it up, can take forever to debate it. Once they make their decision, assuming they uphold the sentence, that's when the 30 days kicks in.
What I thought was interesting was the report I heard this morning. There are at least 10 more trials scheduled, but if and when he gets hung, the trials will proceed without him. Brings new meaning to "in absentia".

as rafael has written, that is how the the laws are stated in iraq. the appeal judges could (9) as i understand could uphold or overturn and there are no time constrictions as to the the decision
even saddam is due to the rule of "humanized" process
and the above mentioned verdict was rendered for infractions from 1982

That may be so. However, I don't expect any sentence to be carried out in my lifetime!

Wondering -- if he will sit on *death row* for umpteen years,
before justice is carried out.

I heard on the radio that by Iraqi law, the sentance myst be carried out in 30 days. His attornies have that long to do their appeals.
