American in spotlight at Suu Kyi trial

The middle-aged American man whose night-time swim to visit Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi may cost her a chance at freedom came into fuzzy focus today, as a court showed a home movie he allegedly shot at her lakeside residence.

However, few outsiders were able to view the unique video because the court again closed the proceedings, barring reporters and diplomats after allowing them to attend a single session yesterday.
