Last month, Brammertz said that he would not appeal the court's decision to proceed with a single trial [JURIST report] for Mladic. The prosecutor sought to separate the indictment [JURIST report] in order to hold one trial for Mladic's conduct during the Srebrenica massacre [JURIST news archive], where approximately 8,000 people were killed, and one for all of his other charges during the Bosnian civil war. The court denied [press release] the prosecutor's request on the grounds that separating the trials would be inefficient and could prejudice Mladic and unduly burden witnesses. Brammertz had argued that splitting the trials was warranted [AP report] because Mladic's health may decline over the course of the trial. Mladic was hospitalized [JURIST report] earlier in the month, allegedly due to pneumonia. Serbian authorities captured Mladic [JURIST report] in May, ending a 16-year manhunt. In August, Hadzic entered a not guilty plea to the charges against him after refusing to enter a plea in July following his extradition to the Hague. [JURIST reports].
