A few days ago one of the most polemic cases in the history of the netherlands was reset, the trial of a former officer of the serbian forces during the balkan wars of the late 1980's and the early 1990's accused of planifying the mass murder of 8,000 muslims. Judges in chargeof this case allowed the case to be staged until last week due to the fact that the prosecution had been late in delivering evidence, judges did in fact turn down the request form the defense which asked for an extra six months of preparation time for the trial. Ratko Mladic has been facing charges of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.
It has been a while since Mladic has been facing these charges, ever since the balkan wars about 20 years have passed by and not a single move was made in order to agilize the trial, this trial has either been decided as not important or Mladic has really good connections which seems the least likely, trials of this nature should be taken care of as soon as possible in order to get fresh evidence and in case that the evidence was rigged in some ways it'd be easier to determine it (testimonials, objects, etc.) this has certainly not been planned well, trials of this nature are to be treated as soon as possible and as carefully as possible, although of course the 15 years that he had been hiding are an important factor which contributes to the tardy trial. The reasons behind the orders he issued more than 20 years ago are known, he was following orders from Slobodan milosevic who was the former president of serbia and yugoslavia, he had the intention of assuring the dominance of the serbs. Could the orders of this former president be enough to make him commit such brutal crimes against his own kind (humans) or was it his troublesome childhood and later suicide of his daughter, some reasons are know others remain unknown, is a monster really a monster after knowing what made it a monster? I think it depends, but a monster should seldomly be forgiven
