“On the charge of authorizing
the execution of several political rivals
over the past 30 years, how do you plead?”
Cochran rushed to stifle the defendant
again, but was too late.
“I was drunk at the time,”
the deposed dictator interjected. “They
had it coming, dressed like that.”
“On the charge of unlawfully invading
Kuwait in 1990,” the judge continued,
“How do you plead?”
Despite Cochran’s attempts to
keep his defendant silent, Hussein lashed
out again. “Which Kuwait?”
he asked. “The Iraqi one
or the Kuwaiti one?”
Hussein was defiant throughout the entire
proceeding often calling on witnesses
who weren’t present. He
had to be reminded repeatedly that he
was in a preliminary hearing and not
currently standing trial.
When asked about his involvement with
the unlawful attack on Iran, he blustered
about Bebe Rebozo and slumped down in
his chair, resigning himself to mumbling
inaudibly and biting his nails, throughout
the rest of the hearing.
Johnny Cochran stood and said, “Your
Honor, the defendant pleads not guilty
on all counts.”
