Pincic: Prosecution's material evidence

23 September 2008  The State Prosecution presents about thirty pieces of material evidence in an attempt to support the indictment against Zrinko Pincic.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina presented its material evidence at the end of its presenting of evidence at the trial of Zrinko Pincic.

Pincic, a former member of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, is charged with having come, armed and uniformed, to a house in Donje selo, in Konjic municipality, in which Serbian civilians were detained, and raped person A several times in the period from November 1992 to March 1993.
 
Prosecutor Vesna Budimir presented 32 pieces of material evidence, which refer to the existence of an armed conflict in Konjic, the indictee's military engagement and medical reports referring to witness A.
 
The Prosecution presented, as evidence, an extract from a second instance verdict, passed by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY, in the case of "Celebici".

Under this verdict Zdravko Mucic, Hazim Delic and Esad Landzo were sentenced for crimes committed in Celebici detention camp, while Zejnil Delalic was acquitted of the charges. Detention camp commander Mucic was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment, his deputy Delic, who then also became commander, to 18 years and guard Landzo to 15 years' imprisonment.

The Defence of Zrinko Pincic questioned the legality of the documents, pertaining to the indictee's military engagement, claiming that those documents "were obtained in the course of an unlawful search", which means that they did not have any value as evidence.
 
Defence attorney Velimir Maric objected the presented medical reports referring to witness A, explaining that "the Defence has not seen those reports".
 
At the next hearing, scheduled for October 6, 2008, the State Prosecution will examine its last witness.
