Milosevic Genocide Case Faltering

March 10, 2004 | ISSUE 40•10

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.

  • 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
    Curator

  • 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.

  • 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.
