Yes, I guess that could be considered a best case scenario.
But I am surprised that any Ba'athists were allowed anywhere this trial to begin with.
It appears to me that this "trial" is turning into a farce. Along with the huge number of lawyers who are representing Hussein, now finding that many of the prosecutors were members of the Ba'athist party --- well, had I my druthers, Saddam would just be sentenced and executed. I don't believe that a trial will serve any useful purpose, and if it is televised, could well allow Saddam's defenders to present him as a martyr to the Arab street.
