...sufficient evidence to charge Sayegh in an American court and that the Saudis plan to charge him as a participant the attack. "Clearly, there?s a lower standard of proof in Saudi courts," says TIME correspondent William Dowell. "It may be easier for Washington if the Saudis handle the trial - and the execution, which would likely follow - because then the Saudis would be the target of any retaliation...
After reading that DNA testing is freeing people who were wrongly convicted, I wonder whether anyone worries about defendants who were wrongly convicted using DNA testing. From 1989 to 1993, here in Oklahoma, DNA evidence was the only murder-trial evidence implicating a Native American defendant from my family. The initial defense included reports of flagrant mishandling of DNA evidence, but this was ignored. Only after three trials and with a court-appointed defense DNA expert was my family member acquitted. RUSSELL L. BATES Anadarko, Okla...
...discrimination lawsuit pending in federal district court in New Jersey charges AT&T with "wearaway," which leaves older workers caught in a cash-balance conversion toiling for years before they start earning new benefits. (The company denies the charges.) A similar case is set to go to trial next spring against Onan Corp., a subsidiary of Cummins Engine Co.

The Sakic sentence came in the context of repeated attempts by Croatia?s current president, Franjo Tudjman, to resurrect the reputation of Croatia?s wartime pro-Nazi Ustashe regime, which enthusiastically...
...Croatia?s history, but it?s a long-passed history," says Anastasijevic. "The real test of Croatia?s character will be what it does about its contemporary war criminals." Tudjman is under intense pressure from the U.S. and the European Union to hand over Mladen "Tuta" Naletilic for trial at the International Tribunal in the Hague, on charges of ethnic cleansing against Muslims in the town of Mostar in 1993. But the Croats have been dragging their feet, claiming that Naletilic is too ill to stand trial and charging him with lesser offenses in a Croatian court in order...
