Defense attorneys for Comrade Duch say they won't ask for any additional investigative work into their client's first case file. Other parties involved with the tribunal are undecided at this point.

"We may or may not ask for more investigation," said Kong Pisey, a lawyer representing several civil parties, on Tuesday. "I need to spend time going through the case."

The Co-Investigating Judges announced last Thursday that they had finished investigations into Duch's first case file. From that point, all parties have 15 days to request further investigative action.

The defense will not make such a request, legal consultant Heleyn Unac said. It is too early to determine whether the Co-Prosecutors will do so, Robert Petit told the Cambodia Daily on Friday.
