Lukic judgement

Judgement was rendered today in the Lukic and Lukic case... The sentences handed down were for a natural life term and 30 years respectively. Watching the expressions on the defendants' faces while the charges were being read out, and the gruesome facts were being recapped again, was positively surreal. Any disdain the defendants may have for this court, for the international criminal system in general, is rendered pretty much moot by the prospect of being transferred to a jail in a desolate corner of Norway.
