At the beginning of the re-trial Zorana Banic said she would stand
mute. Her attorney Luka Susak on Wednesday did not explain the
reasons why his client changed her mind.
At today's hearing, Deputy County Prosecutor Mato Dorcic partially
changed the indictment against Banic. The number of victims in
Skabrinja is changed. In the original indictment, the number of
victims amounted to 46 and now amounts to 34. The names of some
victims were deleted from the indictment and some new names were
added.
Banic's attorney said that changes in the indictment brought the
defendant in a more difficult position and, considering that this
was a re-trial, the indictment cannot be changed. The Panel of
Judges would discuss his appeal.
