The failure to set a date by the SPS to hand over the pretrial file on the part of the prosecution has made Veselin's lawyer nervous, who has said that “Procurory has lost sight of the main objective, which is to be given the opportunity to understand the matter”.
Emmerso has figuratively said that Judge Nicolas Guillou “must draw the whip”, to make Procropolis do its job.
“I'm afraid it's necessary for a judge to pull out the whip and shoot the Prosecutor in this case to do her job, because they've had 5 years to prepare the case”, Emmerson said.
He said that as long as they have the case, they can't do anything to protect themselves.
When we have the file in hand, we can say specifically what we can do about this”, Emmerson said. “It would be good to give us the opportunity to plan a date for judgment. Without doing so, we are waiting and not doing what we need to do”, he added.
In response, chief prosecutor of the Special Prosecutor's Office Jack Smith said Emmerson is using threatening language.
“Two times Mr. Emmerson did this today. The court needs to look into the facts and law”, Smith said.
Similarly, a SPS prosecutor said that “is incorrect that the prosecution did not bring its case before”. She said it was done in the indictment.
When the preliminary file will be submitted, I will address this issue when it is the agenda point”, she said.
