Dershowitz said Monday that he was drawn to the case by a recording that prosecutors say incriminates former President Leonid Kuchma. A voice on the tape that sounds like Kuchma's is heard complaining about journalist Heorhiy Gongadze and suggesting that someone "deal" with the problem.Gongadze was kidnapped in September 2000 and his headless body was later discovered outside Kiev, the Ukrainian capital. Kuchma has denied any involvement."A main point is that he is a victim of a manufactured tape, that nobody can be confident that the recording is authentic," Dershowitz said in an interview with The Associated Press. "And there is nothing worse than being a victim of false evidence."
Kuchma will be defended by Alan Dershowitz, though I wonder how much he will actually be involved? Also, as high profile as Dershowitz is, how much will his actions be blunted by this politically tainted case?
