My question is: exactly how will he defend Saddam? Isn't it pretty much publicly known what Saddam has done and there's tons and tons of documents on what he's done, so how will a lawyer build a case to defend him?? Does anyone have any ideas??
They might build a case on the basis of the sovereignty of nations, and the illegality of overthrowing a nation that was not a threat to the U.S. They might further argue that there is no court jurisdiction over Iraqi internal matters, and thus no authority to try the case. They will also look at potential violations of Saddam's rights to counsel, his potentially illegal imprisonement, etc.
I'm not endorsing this position, just speculating that's what the lawyers will try.
well Iraq will host the trial of course, and so the mass murders that he has done is not right and so he will be charged with that in iraq. the nazi people were charged with the same thing as Saddam so I think that's how the trial will go.
