Courtroom Report: November 2, 2010
On the last day of the trial, the courtroom would have been packed to the rafters if it had rafters. After Mr. Klyuvgant and Mr. Schmidt presented the reply of the defense, Mr. Khodorkovsky made a stirring speech to the assembly – his last words. When he concluded the courtroom exploded in applause and chants of "Freedom!"
Courtroom Report: November 1, 2010
The trial resumed with Judge Danilkin offering prosecutor Lakhtin an opportunity to commence with the prosecution's reply to the defense's arguments. Mr. Khodorkovsky eventually took the floor, telling the court that despite the prosecutor's attempts to attribute to him statements about the political motivations behind the trial he wanted the court to remember that he never talked about it in the process and certainly did not accentuate it.
