Newmont trialI believe that the pollution trial against Newmont and their local president Richard Ness is being decided next week. Newmont (which Denver based as I am)says they will sell out if the verdict is unfair. Does anyone have any opinions on whether a vedict against Newmont will be an opportunity for SA or a negative?
Website done by Mr Ness' son to support him. He is looking at as much as 10 years in prison .

Possible Postponement of Verdict - 30 Mar 2007

My Dad has just informed me that the date of the verdict will likely be postponed from April 4th to April 18th. However, at this time there is no official notification from the court. I expect we will get a confirmation here shortly.
UPDATE:
"Chief Judge Ridwan Damanik said the judges needed more time to draw up the verdict.
"It takes time to compile opinion from five judges into a verdict. But I think the verdict can be read out on April 18," Damanik told Reuters by phone from Manado.
"The case is sensitive because we are trying foreign parties. We don't want to rush things as it could become a problem," he said."
Long SA hoping that this doesn't come out of left field to mess things up.
