11 JUDGE ROBINSON: Because I must say that, looking at it, one would

12 have the impression that the organs were pulled, were taken out almost

13 manually, which is consistent with what some of the witnesses said. But

14 what you're saying is that that is also consistent with being shot at very

15 close range?

16 THE WITNESS: I believe so, Your Honour.

If you need something useful to do, try reading a bit of transcript.

cute, but a waste of my and the trubunal's time. This guy is a simple copper, not a forensic scientist.

There were 2 foreign and 1 government forensic teams which published reports on the victims of the firefight. Why isn't the court hearing testimony from the forensic experts ?

the only new info we have gotten from the prosecution witnesses is that the KLA gangpressed local villagers (many in their 60's) to fight that day.

Exactly the problem with the Serbs, they don't care about any human life except their own.

Obviously, you don't even know what you post!

KLABrit, thanks for pointing to this document. Hope that KLA goons will not kill you for blowing the wistle and pointing to the hoax.

>>>>>>"He was shown a uniformed KLA soldier -- by a KLA soldier, a courtyard where a man named Bidi Banush identified the headless body of Azem Banush<<<<<<<

One might conclude that Bidi Banush is relative of Azem Banush. Wrong! Dead man name was Banush AZEMI, not Azem Banush as transcript says. there is significance in this false testimony. ICTY IS MAKING UP THE NAMES OF THOSE KILLED IN RACAK.

>>>>he was shown the body of Hajriz Jakujsi, who had also been shot.<<< No such person exist in list of found dead in Racak. >>>>>Ismet Bahimi pointed out the body and severed head of his brother Ajad Bahimi. Apparently he had been shot first and then, sometime later, his head was removed.<<<<<<<<

Previously mentioned that body of Azem Banush was headless. That is two, so far. Plus one severed by an axe with blood traces on it. Question: How many headless corpses were documented in Ranta's report?

>>>>>>>>>.... significant numbers of 7.62 cardboard boxes sprinkled 23 around the area, suggesting that those that undertook this calmly executed 24 their victims and reloaded in the same place."<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

"Sprinkle" is interesting choice of word for an native English speaker. Sprinkled by whom? A Freudian lapse or a fraudulent testimony?

Serbian police and paramilitary carried their AK-47s with spare clips fastened with duct tape. In fighting, there is no time to reload.

As of Hendrie expertise, Judge May confirmed that he is no forensic expert so his opinion is irrelevant.

I'm re-reading it and here's a snip.....

24 Q. You claim that this body had no shoes on; right?
25 A. Yes, sir.
Page 6503 1 Q. But there was a full amount of clothing appropriate to the weather 2 conditions; is that right?
3 A. He was fully clothed, sir, yes.
4 Q. Could one conclude that the footwear was removed from this body 5 before you saw this body?
6 A. No, sir.
7 Q. Well, do you believe that when somebody leaves the house, that 8 person would put on a jacket, a hat, and so on and then leave the house 9 barefoot? Is that what you normally suppose if you think that the 10 footwear had not been removed from this body?

Now Abrit, this brit detective is no Sherlock Holmes. A Detective that disclaims the most obvious gives the 'prosecution' no credibility. Ditto, over and over for all 'witnesses'so far.

"Question: How many headless corpses were documented in Ranta's report?"......Well these corpses were videod and photgraphed on site, so if Ranta didn't get them, you'd have to ask why.

Did the testimony of the police officer say that the person had on "a jacket, a hat, and so on", or was that something Milosevic included for effect?

It is in the photographs that the firefight KIA'd were dressed in winter gear.

Under cross it becomes clear that while the KLA dumped the bodies in the night, some 'bright' KLA decided to steal the guys boots......that is why he didn't have boots on.

"No such person exist in list of found in Racak."

The indictment was written some time ago and contains only the names of those "known" to have been killed. It does not claim to be complete.

The issue about "Azem Banush" is a red herring. It may be a translation error, but the fact is the man was killed by the Serbs

Look, KlaBrit, Anyone who had an oportunity to monitor the tv news from Yugoslavia in the 1980's is familiar with the specific facial expression of Kosovo Albanians when forced to lie. The same can be seen on Kangaroo Kourt videos of Albanian "wintesses" tesifying.

There is internal struggle going on. Their words are saying one thing, their faces another. It has something to do with the high ethical codex on one side and the prevailing social norms in Kosovan society on other.

Kosovan Albanians are poor liars, they make childish lies and expect to get away with it. As if they want to be caught and relieved of embarrasment.

The issue of names is not red herring. It is of th ehighest signifficance, because ICTY can NOT change once published "facts".

If all those killed were indeed the villagers of Racak, how come their identities and D.O.B's were not known at the time, not known at the time ICTY wrote "indictment" and not known to the present day? How believable is the fact that mother, father or son do not know what are the names of the killed one and when they were born?

This is believable the same way as the fact that grown up man leave the house fully dressed in overals yet without shoes on his feet.

NO wonder Clinton sided with Kosovo Albanians.

Yes, that's what "He was fully clothed, sir, yes." means.

or was that something Milosevic included for effect?
No, he puts it into specifics showing how preposterous the 'testimony' is. And the whole 'prosecutors case' likewise.

what is great about this thread is that poor KLA-Brit posted some testimony he thought was solid. But KLA-Brit, just like the prosecution, didn't take the time to do a close reading.......

Upon close reading, the Bobby's testimony discredits the prosection............

KLA-Brit, just keep posting more of the transcripts.....it is a hoot.

Can you do us all a favor A(lbanian)Brit? You agree that heads were found cut off right? Can you name for me any Croat, Serb or Russian who is serving time for decapitating someones head? This was a Muslim massacre and we have gone over this time and time again with you. Only Muslims perform this sick act.

NOTE: GRAPHIC CONTENT: An ethnic Albanian inspects the decapitated body of one of as many as 40 men that were found on a hillside in the village of Racak, some 25 kilometers (16 miles) south of Pristina, Saturday, Jan. 16, 1999. The bodies of dozens of men, many of them mutilated, were found lying on a hillside in southern Kosovo Saturday, a day after Serb forces launched a fierce assault on ethnic Albanian villages. Kosovo Albanians said 46 were killed. (AP Photo/Visar Kryeziu)

Read the transcripts Andy, it was the Serbs that did it, and they have proved it.

Once again I repeat myself "Can you name for me any Croat, Serb or Russian who is serving time for decapitating someones head?" Why should I trust any Brit? They are consummate liers and trust in NATO. We have gone over Racak a 100 times with you. But you only believe Serbs could do this. Please wake up!

I like how you avoided answering my post on Universal Declaration of Human Rights
