...lawyer for the PAD said his group would not respond to the assassination attempt with violence. "We want the way of peace, not payback. We will only use violence to defend ourselves, as is permissible under the law. But this is bad. It means a civil war is starting, and Thailand could end up like Rwanda," said Puchong Tirawatana. Puchong blamed the Red Shirts for the assassination attempt on Sondhi, and said there were police and military men who were red shirt members or sympathizers. Red Shirt leadership and the police have yet to comment...
...Except there is. Use the ubiquitous search engine, and "you will be able to link to some infringing material," says Struan Robertson, a technology lawyer at London law firm Pinsent Masons. "But the vast majority of what's on the service is not infringing. That's an important thing for courts."

Kazmi had made a request for a special undisclosed fee, different from what would normally be granted to a court-appointed lawyer in Mumbai - Rs. 900 (about $18) for the entire case. The fee is shockingly small even by the standards of India's poorly paid junior lawyers, but the prosecutor in the case, Ujwal Nikam, objected vehemently to Kazmi's request. He argued that making an exception would encourage other court-appointed lawyers to demand special fees in future cases. Qasab's lawyer was supposed...
...Before adjourning for lunch, Tahiliani directly addressed the three defendants and informed them of the changes in their representation. Qasab agreed and smiled at his new lawyer. He had watched the day's proceedings calmly, occasionally staring off into space and sometimes laughing when everyone else in the courtroom laughed. With a shaggy beard and hair that covered his ears and forehead, Qasab, 21, looked older than he appears in the globally circulated pictures captured of him during the Mumbai attacks, when he walked through the city's main railway station in cargo pants, brandishing weapons. Sabahuddin, 25, a head...
