South Sudan Court Deemed "Illegal" by Lawyer
A lead defence lawyer for Riek Machar, Geri Raimondo Legge, argued that the special court trying his client is operating unlawfully due to an expired mandate.
- The court's mandate allegedly expired last week.
- The defence lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the case and secure the release of all eight accused.
The court has become jurisdictionally incompetent and unlawful.
Machar's party, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM/A-IO), has dismissed the trial as politically motivated.
Author's summary: Machar's trial faces legal complications.
