Judges continue reading Khodorkovsky verdict

Judges in Moscow are in their ninth day of reading the verdict in oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s trial, going over details of tax evasion charges, as the politically-charged case approached its end.

Most observers say what the judges have read so far guarantees that the court will find the billionaire guilty on charges that also include fraud and embezzlement when it delivers its final verdict and sentence.
