An Alberta judge is to rule next month whether former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr should have his eight-year sentence for war crimes declared expired. He said the appeal, in the meantime, hasn't advanced "even an inch" in the U.S."Mr. Khadr's sentence essentially is frozen in time," Whitling told Chief Justice Mary Moreau on Tuesday. His application in youth court Tuesday asked the judge to place him under conditional supervision for one day then declare his sentence served. Since his release on bail, Khadr has lived in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alta., without any issues. "What the United States agreed was that you can treat transferred youth prisoners just like you do your own youthprisoners," he said outside court.
