PRESIDENT: 5 Please be seated. The Court is now in session. 6 During this morning's session, as scheduled, the Trial Chamber is 7 going to hear the testimony of the expert, Justice Richard 8 Goldstone, in relation to the character of the accused. This 9 testimony is going to be heard through videoconference, and we're 10 going to hear his expertise and complete his testimony such a 11 videoconference. And we're going to take the whole morning for 12 the purpose of this testimony. 13 Before we start our proceedings, the Greffier is now instructed 14 to report the attendance of the parties to the proceedings. 15 THE GREFFIER: 16 Mr. President, the parties to the proceedings today are all 17 present. The expert who is going to testify in a moment, Justice 18 Richard Goldstone, is ready in the United States and Mr. Raoul 19 Jennar is also available.

PRESIDENT: 15 The Trial Chamber has not taken it for granted and we have paid 16 great attention to the decision, and we already rendered our 17 decision and that the reason written decision will be made in due 18 course. And due to the commitment in the last plenary session 19 that our Judges were opposed to take part to debating the 20 proposed amendments and it was for the smooth operation of the 21 Court if there is a case file 003 -- if it should be -- then the 22 Judges had to meet to discuss this matter in advance. 23 At the same time, we do not forget to make a decision on the 24 matter and the decision has been translating, and we believe that 25 tomorrow we will have verified all the three versions of the PURL: https://www.legal-tools.org/doc/53c5e4/ 00378454 E1/74.1 Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia Trial Chamber - Trial Day 70 Case No. 001/18-07-2007-ECCC/TC KAING GUEK EAV 14/9/2009 Page 3 3 1 decision and will be included into the case file in due course. 2 So it is the obligation of the Court to produce the written 3 reason decision accordingly. 4 The AV Unit is now instructed to link the videoconference to the 5 expert, please. 6 QUESTIONING BY THE BENCH 7 BY MR.
