...Speaking in a clear but low voice, the man known to Cambodians by his revolutionary name, Duch, told the courtroom that he was there to seek release from detention ahead of his trial at the tribunal.

Do we also want to see him sitting in a San Francisco courtroom by day, and catching a charter to a game by night, a la Kobe Bryant during his 2004 rape case? (The charges against Bryant were later dismissed.) Of course not. And if that kind of spectacle drives fans crazy, imagine how it could destroy a clubhouse. Even for a dreadful team like the Devil Rays, that's a lot to lose...
