The judges learned the lesson about self-representation too late. They bent over backwards for him.

Bosnia's case is a case against the leadership, and the leaders represent the state. They employ the organs of state power.

He was not brought to judgment, but he was brought to justice. He did not die in a hail of bullets in Belgrade or in retirement on the French Riviera. He died in a jail cell.

They're both used to wielding absolute power and they both want to demonstrate who's in charge. They perceive this as their show and the show doesn't go on without them.

This is exactly what the judges have feared all along. That the trial wouldn't be complete and there would be no verdict.... They knew the fragile state of his health.

He is one of the most critical high-level insiders that the prosecution has been able to produce.
