linkWhen U.N. prosecutors opened their case against Slobodan Milosevic (news - web sites) two years ago, they set out to get him convicted of genocide. The consensus today is, they failed.
Legal experts say prosecutors at the U.N. war crimes tribunal have assembled solid evidence on lesser charges against the former Yugoslav president. But acquittal on the genocide charge ? the crime of all crimes, experts say ? would have far-reaching implications.
Many Serbs would cheer it as vindicating their view that Serbia stands wrongly accused....
Why am I not surprised? It seems its so damn easy to get off on anything now.
