A Bosnian Croat wartime commander died after swallowing what he said was poison in a U.N. war crimes courtroom on Wednesday after losing an appeal against a 20-year prison sentence, Croatian state TV said.
Slobodan Praljak, 72, died in hospital in the Hague after he was seen drinking from a flask or glass as a U.N. judge read out the ruling against him and five other suspects, state TV reported, citing unnamed sources.
The apparent courtroom suicide, which was broadcast on a video feed, came in the final minutes of the last judgement at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), which closes next month.
“I just drank poison,” he said. “I am not a war criminal. I oppose this conviction.”
After gulping down the drink, Praljak sat back down and slumped in his chair, a lawyer who was in the courtroom at the time said.

Pay attention.
This is how you seceed from the Union.
We are a sanctuary state.
But we subsidize your life so I get it.
I think the most realistic scenario is a long-term, if not permanent, federal government shut down starting next week. Close it down.
No more free ride @salemcoog.
