Special Dismiss SPS request to accept written testimony instead of direct testimony to a witness

The trial chamber in the case against former President Hashim Thaci and others has decided to bring down the request of the Specialised Prosecutor's Office (ZPS) for accepting former witness statements 4647 under the 154 rule. This was announced by the chairman of the court, Judge Charles Smith at Monday's session, saying [...]
This has been announced by the chairman of the court, Judge Charles Smith at Monday's hearing, presenting three reasons, reports the “Justice bet”.
“S first, the prosecution has not presented sufficient reasons that constitute valid reasons to reconcile with the February 7th term for which the court had imposed 154 on the rule of 154 as belonging to the first 12 witnesses, and that is in the January 18th transcript, on pages 1902”, he said.
On the other hand, Judge Smith said the second reason is that the court agrees with the protection that the change in the manner of presenting evidence of 04647 would actually violate the defendant.
And third, he said that under the importance of the proposed testimony, the court has assessed that the reasons should have been presented in writing and such reasons have not been presented.
Therefore, the court in this case undermines the prosecution's request to accept witness testimony of 04647 on the basis of the 154” rule, concluded that oral order.
Meanwhile, in advance, witness in line (with code 04337) answering specialised prosecutor James Pace's questions, said no member of the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) enabled him to oppose his detention.
Never did the witness answer when asked about it.
He also answered with “jo” on whether after or during his ban, some member of the deceased The KLA had given any documents allegedly banned the same on its base.
On the other hand, the witness gave the answer that whoever I owe, never, ever, when asked by Prosecutor Pace if or during his detention, any members of the prosecutor The KLA had charged him with any concrete crime allegedly committed.
While the rest of these questions were of edited content, which is now continuing sessions still with the hearing of this witness, asking the prosecution at private session.
