The Russian supreme court overturned a not guilty verdict and ordered a retrial for the suspects who are charged with the killing of journalist Anna Politkovskaya. The three men were acquitted in February for the October2006 killing of the journalist. The fourth suspect will be retried for the acquittal of seperate charges of atempted to extort money from a related suspect in the case. The trial last nearly a year and the jury ruled there was not enough evidence against the suspects. Neither the assassin or the person who gave the order to kill her were not on trial and believed to be in hiding or unidentified.
The article is done very nicely. The lead is good, short and to the point except for the end when it states "a defense attorney said." That part is a little confusing to me. It is a very interesting article to me and makes me want to research it some more and find out more about Anna Politkovskaya.
