Not Allowed to Speak Before adjourning the proceed- ings, the president asked the ac- cused whether they had anything to say. Khakim said that he wished to explain why he had deserted from the British Army, since his reasons were similar to those motivating the murder. He was not allowed 'to speak by the judge. Ben Zuri stated that he dis- agreed with some of the state- ments of the defense attorneys regarding politics, but on the whole the defense was "brilliant, and even better than what I had expected."
