"In his letter, Judge Harhoff, 64, who has been
on the tribunal since 2007, said that in two cases Judge Meron, a
United States citizen who was formerly an Israeli diplomat, applied
“tenacious pressure” on his fellow judges in such a way that it “makes
you think he was determined to achieve an acquittal.”
“Have any American or Israeli officials ever exerted pressure on the
American presiding judge (the presiding judge for the court that is) to
ensure a change of direction?” Judge Harhoff asked. “We will probably
never know.”
A spokesman at the court declined to comment on the letter. Other judges
and lawyers were willing to speak, provided that their names were not
used." (thanks anonymous)
