Saddam Hussein trial moves to defense dominated session
In Baghdad on Monday the Saddam Hussein trial resumed after a six week pause but the defense controlled proceedings, with prosecutors arguing for more time to present evidence. Saddam challenged the judge and demanded papers as eight defendants sought new lawyers while his half brother revealed a cancer diagnosis. The court adjourned for a week, as Shiite politicians criticized perceived leniency, and witnesses testified via video tapes detailing past events in Dujail.
