Jailed Khmer Rouge president Khieu Samphan is sorting through a list of replacement defense lawyers, following the resignation of his Cambodian defense, officials said Thursday.
"We are in the process of seeking a new lawyer," said Rupert Skilbeck, head of the tribunal's defense section. "We have a list which contains about 50 Cambodian lawyers, and so we are looking at the possible candidates."
Cambodian lawyer Say Bory announced he would resign as defense last week, citing health concerns.
Khieu Samphan, 76, faces charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Khieu Samphan "is already looking at the list, and so we will assist him to make his choice," Skilbeck said.
No hearing has been set yet by the pre-trial chamber of judges, and no further delays are expected, Skilbeck said.
"The judges declared previously that they will finish the case soon, around September or October," tribunal spokesman Reach Sambath said. "So far, Khieu Samphan's case will be held during that time, if nothing changes."
"Khieu Samphan is choosing [his lawyer], but he has not decided yet," Say Bory said Thursday. "Maybe tomorrow, or very, very soon."

This idiot Khiev Samphann has shamed all his ancestors, his friends and all his fellow citizen for his very stupid leadership to sink Cambodia and Cambodian into Hell on earth. He should commit suicide himself for his own stupidity. He will be remebered by his fellow citizen as a most idiot man on earth for many more centuries. Areak Prey

no second chance for KR leaders!!! you only get one chance and you must pay for it. khmer people had enough of you, stupid, and ignorant monster that can only killed your own people. wait until they fight back, you're be dead. may god punish all of them for committed genocide against the khmer people. i hope he will soon die of high blood pressure, heart attack or something along that line. cambodia don't need a leader like you anymore, so go to hell and let god keep you there for eternity. god bless cambodia.
i thought khiev samphon as well-educated. he should have known better when he was in power during the KR era, that a country is only as strong as its people and its modern advance technological know-how. for him to do and support such atrocity was unforgiving, to say the least. he should have put his good education to better use for cambodia, instead, he chose the wrong path and not willing to reform. that pathetic and a grave mistake and he can not go back and change what had already happened in cambodia. may god punish him and his type serverely.
What a waste.This shit got a pH.D in economic and political science then decide to be a killer.Now suffer the consequences of your stupidity DUMBASS .Have you used your brain a little bit,you may be a khmer HERO or have a wonderful life that can be the envie to all of us.
