Court TV web service to show Saddam trial
Updated: 2005-11-23 09:25 | Court TV's online service will
offer full coverage of Saddam Hussein's trial when it resumes, perhaps as early
as next Monday.
Court TV Extra said Tuesday it would show the trial on a 20-minute delay. It
is scheduled to air from roughly 4 to 9 a.m. EST, with on-demand highlight clips
also available.

[AP] | Two attorneys representing co-defendants in
Saddam's trial have been assassinated since the trial began Oct. 19. Saddam and
seven others are on trial for the 1982 deaths of 148 Shiite Muslims. If
convicted, they could be hanged.
Defense lawyers are threatening to boycott Monday's resumption of the trial
to protest the slayings of defense team members. Iraqi court officials say they
are prepared to appoint substitute lawyers, which would likely force further
delays.
Court TV Extra is a subscription service costing $5.95 a month. New users can
try it free for 30 days. It will probably be the only place to watch ongoing
coverage of the trial; broadcast news networks were likely to show
highlights. |
