"Legacy of Milošević's trial"

"[Geoffrey Nice] said that the trial of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević should be a good lesson to all politicians that chose to follow his example. "

What lesson is that? Milosevic gave his life to his cause. There is no greater price a martyr will pay. How will his trial persuade other politicians in the conviction of their struggles? Politicians will read out of this trial what they want. What a farce.

I'm no Milosevic fanboy. But really, what lesson is it Mr. Nice is talking about? Milosevic proved himself not guilty during the trial. If he had been given proper treatment and lived through it, he probably would have left the trial victorious. What lesson is there to be learned from this?

The lesson's Mr. Nice learned is that Milosevic who was not a practicing lawyer tore apart the prosecution and witnesses piece by piece.

Milosevic could not be convicted even in a politically motivated court house.
