And Mohammed, dressed a white turban and traditional black vest, made clear he still feels a deep disdain for the proceedings, saying I dont think there is any justice in this court. Defense lawyers spent hours arguing that their clients shouldnt have to attend the hearing, saying they dredge up bad memories of their harsh treatmen...
