BANGKOK (Sputnik) — A US appeals court has recently denied Bout, 49, a retrial based on new evidence.
"I have not expected any other ruling. The American court is a show, an entertainment venue. It has ready and predictable answers to any facts or defense arguments, and these answers will not change until the political will, the political atmosphere [in the United States] changes," Bout told RIA Novosti in a phone call.
Bout's lawyer Alexey Tarasov said Monday the defense team does not rule out an appeal to the US Supreme Court for a new trial.
