Berlusconi collapses


According to the BBC:

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been diagnosed with a minor heart complaint after being taken ill during a speech in northern Italy.


Is it a coincidence that Silvio has done a "Michael Jackson" and been taken ill in the middle of his trial? Has the lack of Presidential immunity become all too much for him? Will it gain him sympathy with the Italians?
Can he stay ill long enough for the statute of limitations to kick in - you know, the act that he introduced last time to save his miserable neck?

He introduced something similar just recently, I don't know if you're talking about the same one. Lots of criminals have been released early - they used the excuse that it was to stop overcrowding, but really it was to get Mr Slime off the hook. At 70, he should just retire.
