[Previous entry: "Bombings in Madrid"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "Everything is ultimately the Americans' fault"] 05 July 2004: "Richard George May, 1939-2004"
I just read that Sir Richard May died from a brain tumour last week. "Judge May," as he was generally referred to among ICTY personnel and Tribunal-watchers, was best known for being the presiding judge in the trials of, among others, Dario Kordić, Tihomir Blaskić, Sefer Halilović, Momčilo Krajišnik, Biljana Plavsić and, most notably, Slobodan Milošević. Judge May resigned a few months ago, almost precipitating the Milo�ević case to be ruled a mistrial; his decision to step down at that moment confused me at the time, but since we now know he was terminally ill, it makes sense. |
