AI Thread Summary
The term "procedural grounds" refers to legal reasons related to the process of the court rather than the substantive issues of the case itself. In Butler's situation, his appeal was denied because his defense attorney failed to raise a specific issue in an earlier appeal, which meant that the court could not consider it at that stage. This highlights the importance of following proper legal procedures in appeals, as failure to do so can result in the dismissal of a case regardless of its merits. The discussion also touches on the challenges faced by non-native English speakers in understanding legal terminology.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
