Invalid “ ” I'm not commenting “, crash between Veselin's lawyer and German judge

One situation was seen today as German Judge Christoph Barthe questioned witness Shukri Buya.

With some obvious nervousness, Barthe was asking Buye about the role of the intelligence sector in the Nerodime Zone, and possible contacts of Elmi Recica, as head of the intelligence sector in the area, with the General Staff.

The Witness answered that he did not believe, and it was not up to Recica to report to the General Staff, but in his area, the judge retorted it as if he were seeing a witness's assumption, not that he believed or knew it.

So this answer, and you just assume, so you just assume that Mr. Recica has not received any order from General Staff, yes or no?

Buya replied that based on the organisational scheme, he has received orders from the area.

And the judge again stopped at his tendency to guess what the witness said.

So, get it for yes, so, yes, suppose it didn't take any orders from the General Staff, just assume”.

 

 

And that's where Rodney Dixon reacted that he's a Kadri Wessel lawyer.

He added that what the judge is doing is not appropriate.

“Comments of this type, which you're just assuming, the witness isn't giving the direct answer, I don't think it's a comment the Court should make, I don't think that's appropriate comments”, Dixon said.

Barthe replied that he made no comments, and in this case the chairman of the Charles Smith panel said the lawyer's opposition is inappropriate, saying the judge has the right to ask in that form.

 

 

The approach of judges in this process has been constantly criticised. They seem to side with the prosecution and often ask speculating questions or the form of comments. They have even been criticized for often interfering with the attorneys ' questions. But the biggest criticism of them is that they decide to accept evidence that comes from Serbia, or evidence that does not have authenticity.
