French and Moland vs. Republic of Congo

[Sigurd]

This is just great entertainment.
I mean, Congo must have brighter people than those who are participating in this trial. It just boggles my mind that this is supposed to be an actual military tribunal.

A brief intro:
Two Norwegians on a field trip to the republic of Congo was allegedly attacked by guerrillas which killed their driver. They escaped and were arrested for the murder of the driver.
The Congolese government has appointed a military tribunal because these two young men, Joshua French and Tjostolv Moland, had military backgrounds. (Yeah, like every other young Norwegian).
The case against them is as thin as the razor blade I used to shave my face this morning.
The driver was killed by shots to the head with three 7.62mm rounds. The murder weapon presented as evidence in the case is a 12 g. shotgun which can only be loaded one shell at the time. Witnesses told the court they heard 3 rapid shots.
These men's rights have been violated numerous times during their arrest and during this case. The indictments against them have snowballed and the State attorney now demands 500 billion US dollars from the State and King of Norway for sending these two spies to Congo.
