Scenes outside the court: Mrs. Mu Sochua's supporters gathered outside the court to supporte her.
Mrs. Mu Sochua's court hearing today (24th July) ended at 11 am without a verdict, with the judge reserving his judgement for 4th August.
Supporters of Ms. Mu Sochua held a candlelight vigil in front of the Phnom Penh Court since the morning to support her. They cheered as she exited the court.
Even the judge did not pass his judgement, Mrs. Mu Sochua and her supporters anticipated a guilty verdict as the court is under the influence of the plaintiff, Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Mr. Sam Rainsy, president of the Sam Rainsy Party to which Ms. Mu Sochua belongs, told the Cambodia Daily yesterday that his party will pay the fine for her if she is found guilty. He added that his party will not appeal the court's decision because he considers it a waste of time.
Many analysts predicted that the 4th August's verdict will be a guilty verdict.

The judge delayed his judgement because wants to wait for an instruction from Mr. Hun Sen what verdict he wants. Everyone knows it will be a guilty verdict because this is Mr. Hun Sen's kangaroo court.
stop over reacting. if i were hun sen. if this explode to an uncontrolling celebration i will put my grib on them again!!!!
Mr. Hun Sen may have to walk carefully. He don't want this court case to get as much international attention as the similar one in Myanmar. This could explain the delay.
