Judge Sand said he had considered holding a second trial before the completion of the first. Several times during the two-hour hearing defendant Mamdouh Mahmud Salim rose to address the judge.

Each defendant has several lawyers. That's why I ask for an example of what I did. I will not accept a general term like conspiracy.
