Ratko Mladic verdict: 'Butcher of Bosnia' ejected from courtroom during genocide trial for shouting at judges Ratko Mladic verdict: 'Butcher of Bosnia' ejected from courtroom during genocide trial for shouting at judges
(35 minutes later)
Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb military leader, has been removed from the courtroom hearing his war crimes trial after an angry outburst. Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb military leader, has been removed from court after an angry outburst at the hearing determining whether he is guilty of genocide and war crimes. 
The trial was delayed as Mladic asked for a batyhroom break before judges issued their verdict in his trial for 11 alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide. The defense lawyer for Mladic requested a delay in proceedings because Mladic had three high blood pressure readings during a break. 
The pause stretched on for more than an hour.  Presiding Judge Alphons Orie refused the request, and Mladic got out of his chair and shouted "Lies! Shame on you" as he was led out to a nearby room where he could following the proceedings on a screen. 
UN judges decided to continue reading Mladic's verdict, rejecting his defence's request for a delay on medical grounds. The UN court convicted Mladic of genocide and crimes against humanity and sentenced him to life in prison.
Upon returning to the courtroom, he began shouting, causing the UN judges to order him to be removed from the room. The court in The Hague convicted Mladic of 10 of 11 counts in a dramatic climax to a groundbreaking effort to seek justice for the wars in the former Yugoslavia.
