A war crimes appeal hearing in The Hague was cut short dramatically when one defendant drank what he said was poison upon hearing the verdict.

Slobodan Praljak, 72, was one of six former Bosnian Croat political and military leaders up before the court.

There is a video on that site that contains a warning of disturning scenes.

Interesting, they showed the unedited footage on German news - there was nothing to see, really, he just drank from a small bottle. It was only after the lawyer told the Judge that he had taken poison that anyone reacted.

Why the [LIFTED] did his lawyer not report the poison to the court before hand if he knew he had such a prohibited item. Surely lawyer/client privilige doesn't include such things.

Pretty sure there are no exceptions to attorney - client privilege
