Milosevic Genocide Case Faltering

American VoicesWorld ISSUE 40•10 Mar 10, 2004

Legal experts said it's likely that Slobodan Milosevic will be acquitted of genocide at the conclusion of his U.N. war-crimes tribunal. What do you think?

  • “They wasted two years questioning an innocent man, and the real genocider is still out there somewhere.”

  • “All this because the witness who'd been out walking his dog couldn't say whether he saw the genocide happen at 10:15 or 10:30.”

    Shirley Green –
    Salesperson

  • “I'm surprised that Milosevic was able to plead his case down to 180,000 charges of vehicular manslaughter.”

  • “I hope they provided him with a good rehabilitation program while he was in jail. Otherwise, he's just going to wind up committing more genocides.”

    Eric Nelson –

  • “When I look in his eyes, I don't see a genocidal butcher. I see a man who needs a hug, and I'm the woman who's going to give it to him.”

    Anna Wright –

  • “Who's his defense lawyer? 'Cause I just crushed three people in a drunken backhoe incident, and I totally don't wanna go to jail.”
