A Saudi court has issued final verdicts in the case of killed Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi after his son announced pardons that spared five of the convicted individuals from execution.

While the trial draws to its conclusion in Saudi Arabia, the case continues to cast a shadow over the international standing of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
