ISLAMABAD: Raymond Davis never confessed to murdering the two poor souls in broad daylight. So, the question of diyat did not arise on legal or moral grounds. Besides, the so-called blood money was not paid by him or on his behalf for any admitted murder. Moreover, the legal heirship status of the greedy recipients of compensation was not determined in accordance with the law. However, instead of raising many more questions of this nature, let us now admit that this nation of compulsive beggars cannot be the chooser.
