A couple weeks ago, a note was found on the door of the Moscow courthouse where Yukos founder Mikhail Khodorkovsky's trial was taking place. The note said that the verdict would be postponed until May 16. A reason for the verdict's delay wasn't given, but a news agency in Russia reported that a court official had said that the judge hadn't finished writing the sentence. Well, May 16 is here, and they are saying that Khodorkovsky has been found guilty of 6 of 11 charges so far, but the session has been adjourned until tomorrow. MOSNEWS of Russia Khodorkovsky was detained nearly a year and a half ago as part of an investigation into Yukos. Many believe that Khodorkovsky is just the target of a Kremlin campaign to sabotage his political agenda. The prosecution wants Khodorkovsky to be sentenced a maximum of 10 years. The defense is seeking to get him completely acquitted from any charges. Chris is a staff writer for latest ebusiness news
