The Bosnian state court will hand down a verdict in the trial of Mensur Memic, Dzevad Salcin, Senad Hakalovic, Nedzad Hodzic and Nihad Bojadzic on July 13. The defendants have been charged with committing war crimes in the village of Trusina, near Konjic, on July 13, 1993.
The defense of Nedzad Hodzic proposed that medical findings on the defendants health be included in the case file. The state prosecution objected to this proposal, on the grounds that the same evidence had already been included in the case file.

On her fifth day of closing statements, Nihad Bojadzics defense attorney said there was no evidence that indicated her client commanded an attack on the village of Trusina on April 16, 1993.
