Marco Camenisch has his sentence reduced by half this morning by a court in Zurich whose decision respected that of the jury. Thus the 17 year sentence which Camenisch began in 2004 is reduced to 8 years. Camenisch will be 66 years of age should he serve the complete sentence for the murder of a Swiss border guard. Marco Camenisch (born 1952) is an anarchist and ecologist who emerged as a leading figure of a militant anti-nuclear group in Switzerland through the late 1970's to his arrest & trial with one comrade in 1980. The group fought the nuclear power through direct action, cutting pylons and sundry other sabatoge of power plants. ... read full story / add a comment

Over the past three years under Mr Justice Morgan the one sided preliminary hearings have continued and preparations for the civil case have been ongoing with an input from the plaintiffs only. The sole evidence against Michael McKevitt is that of informer David Rupert. However, on this occasion his evidence is conditional on whether he is to face cross-examination or not. Mr Rupert received an assurance that as Mr McKevitt will have no legal representation he will not face a rigorous cross-examination and he will have a free run to give whatever evidence he wishes. The assurances given to Rupert may ring hollow and it is possible that the issue of legal aid will be resolved in McKevitt’s favour, no other conclusion could be reached in the interest of fairness. Under renewed circumstances, Mr Rupert may not be as enthusiastic to face cross-examination by McKevitt’s legal team. ... read full story / add a comment

Is it an optical illusion? Is it conservative Irish Times staff subconsciously misrepresenting public opinion on the use of Shannon for the Iraq war? It's a conspiracy theorists' dream.... It has to be seen to be believed... And the most bizarre part is that The Irish Times isn't going to do anything about it. ... read full story / add a comment

Despite, predictions to the contrary, elections in the wee north continue to be pretty much a sectarian headcount. The predictions of an SDLP revival, on one side, and a grassroots republican revolt, on the other, both turned out to be wishful thinking as Sinn Fein and the DUP continued their growth among the respective sides of the sectarian divide. The prediction of an increased turnout (which was repeated right until the end of counting) also turned out to be a figment. ... read full story / add a comment |
