Karadzic gets 2 weeks to study Mladic recordings
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Yugoslav war crimes tribunal judges have given former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic two weeks to study video and audio recordings seized from the family home of his wartime military commander Gen. Ratko Mladic.
The judges say they will adjourn Karadzic’s genocide trial for two weeks after two prosecution witnesses finish testifying.
Wednesday’s ruling came after Karadzic asked for a three-week break to study the recordings, arguing they may include information that could help him win acquittal.
The recordings were seized together with a pile of diaries Mladic wrote throughout the war.
Karadzic is charged together with Mladic with masterminding the Bosnian war’s worst atrocities. Mladic remains a fugitive.
