The judges' potted history of conflict in East Ukraine totally ignores aspects important to the #MH17 case:
1) The rise of fascists to power in Kiev
2) The shooting of both police & protestors at the Maidan
Why is it relevant to point out the Ukrainian security services were under the control of the founder of a neo-fascist party? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andriy_Pa…
Because it goes to possible motive, means & opportunity in the #MH17 case.
The judges thus afternoon will be summarising the most important evidence against the suspects on trial. Interesting to see how much of this "evidence" originates from the unindicted suspects - ie elements within the political & security establishment of the Ukraine.

For literally years the crucial 09:08 BUK conversation was purportedly between Dubinsky (Khmuryi) & Buryat (Buriatik).
Today, with no explanation I am aware of, it appears it was between Dubinsky & Chernykh. Image
Here is the original SBU recording indicating Buryat:
Earlier - Prosecution urge denial of Defence request for witness examinations of Chernykh & Vlokh (no surprise there).

So today we were presented with this graphic showing the phone data of Chernykh & Vlokh.
Who are Chernykh & Vlokh? Really?
Where are they now? Image
Let's get a bit more explicit. How do we know Chernykh & Vlokh, who have provided the link to Russia through their mobile phone data and now, (it very belatedly turns out) through the crucial conversation with Dubinsky, weren't working for the SBU - then, as apparently now?

Full text of the interlocutory judgement of the #MH17 court regarding on applications made by the defence, counsel for MH17 relatives and the Public Prosecution Service just released:
uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/inziendocument…
The judge argues the right of the defendant to examine or have examined witnesses against him is balanced against his right to be judged within a reasonable time.
So Pulatov can not examine all the witnesses against him because of time constraints.
Article 6 of the ECHR below:
My interpretation of the ECHR would be that examining the witnesses against him is a "minimum right" of a defendant and the "reasonable time" has to allow this. The judge can rule the evidence is insufficient & acquit but he shouldn't curtail the defendant's minimum rights.
