You can't defend the indefensible, but there are notes of truth in madness

​Nuon Chea Defense Goes On Attack in Closing Brief   The second trial of the two highest-ranking surviving Khmer Rouge leaders was a biased, “disheartening sham” rife with political interference that stood in the way of ascertaining the truth, argues the closing brief in the defense of Nuon Chea, the regime’s second-in-command.  Scathing, fierce and at times sarcastic, the mammoth 550-page confidential document, which The Cambodia Daily obtained this week, lambasts the court for what it describes as its “blatant disinterest in the truth” and lets few of those connected to the prosecution off the hook.   Cambodia Daily
