context1: On 11 July 2007, White arrived in Britain after having fled Iraq following warnings of <strong>threats</strong> to his life, but returned later on. He is no stranger to <strong>danger</strong>, having been hijacked, kidnapped, locked up in rooms with bits of finger and toe and things. He has been held at gunpoint, been attacked – the usual thing!
context2: The same jury heard a separate sentencing proceeding as required by Texas law. One of the three issues the jury had to determine was the future dangerousness of the defendant and whether he would continue to pose a <strong>threat</strong> to society. Over the defense counsel's objections, the doctor who conducted the pretrial competency evaluation was allowed to testify and his opinion was that Smith continued to be dangerous and thus would continue to constitute a <strong>danger</strong> to society.
