Krajisnik Verdict: Legal Aspects

Wow, I haven't written one single post about this trial until yesterday, and now I have four posts in a row about it!

The full judgement can be found at the ICTY website:
Judgement

As my previous posts on the verdict have alluded to, the most controversial aspect of the verdict was the acquittal on the genocide charge.
On the justwatch l discussion group, there are some interesting discussions on the aspects of "actus reus" (the crime) and "men rea" (the intent to commit the crime). As well as other posts steming from the legal aspects of the verdict.

Srebrenica Genocide said...

It's hard to prove genocide. But let's keep things into perspect. They charged him with "Bosnian Genocide", not Srebrenica Genocide, am I correct?

(At least that is my understanding)
Here is the indictment:
