BBC News reports that Radovan Karadzic today did not show up for his trial with the International Criminal Tribunal for war crimes related to the Bosnian war in the 1990s.
Currently he is defending himself against 11 charges including genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. However the judge said that if Mr. Karadzic continues this "obstructive behavior" council will be forced upon him to proceed with the trial. Karadzic has refused to appear in court because he wants the trial to be delayed for a longer period of time.
The trial is said to include 1.2 million pages of evidence against Mr. Karadzic, numerous crime scenes and hundreds of witnesses. Mr Karadzic does not believe he has had enough time to prepare a proper defense against such resources. Though in all truth, is a defense even if postponed really possible against such insumountable evidence of the crimes?
If convicted Karadzic faces lifetime inprisonment.
