Sir, I do not think it is reasonable for Radovan Karadzic to waste more public funds on this legal case (“Karadzic wins extra time for war crimes trial fight”, report, Nov 6, and letter, Nov 7) when he has had nearly a year to prepare. He should be given an extension only if he is prepared to fund the massive cost of the delay. If not, then the trial goes ahead in his absence after two requests for his attendance.
