Just got another brief update from Endre Mozes, our Take A Pen colleague attending today’s legal proceedings. He described Philippe Karsenty’s presentation on al-Dura as “excellent with lots of sources” and Karsenty himself as “cool and articulate.”
Not so the France 2 lawyers. “In the last hour and-a-half, they were trying to use handwriting analysis to try showing Philippe’s a megalomaniac,” said Mozes. “Philippe was shocked by the personal attacks, and twice, the judge stopped the proceedings to address the lawyers.”
The presentation is still continuing despite the late hour. “This length isn’t what anybody expected,” Mozes said wryly.
Watch this exclusive interview with Mideast expert and media analyst Tom Gross about the al-Dura controversy.
