SOUNDBITE: (Serbian) Predrad Milanovic, Milan Martic's defence lawyer: "If you ask me about my impressions, I have to say that I had a feeling that I heard a completely different verdict announcement. However one thing I found interesting; it was very clearly stated that Mr. Martic shared criminal intent with Mr. Milosevic to create a unified state of Serbia. That crime was never proven so I don't understand the conviction." FILE: Knin, Krajina, Croatia - May 4 1995 13.

Martic addressing troops STORYLINE: The Yugoslav war crimes tribunal convicted a wartime leader of Croatia's rebel Serbs of murder, torture and persecution on Tuesday and sentenced him to 35 years in prison for a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign of non-Serbs in Croatia. Judges said Milan Martic, 52, was responsible for hundreds of murders from 1991 when Serbs in the Krajina region of northeastern Croatia rebelled and set up a breakaway ministate until 1995 when Croatian forces recaptured the area. He also was convicted of ordering two days of indiscriminate cluster bomb shelling of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, in May 1995 that killed at least seven civilians and injured more than 200. Judge Moloto said that Martic was entitled to credit for time spent in detention which, as of the date of the judgement, amounted to 1,855 days. Martic, who made no comment throughout the hearing, stood still and showed no emotion as Moloto read out the verdict and his sentence. The three-judge UN panel said Martic was deeply involved in a criminal plot with other Serb leaders.
