...navy blue suit, he appeared unmoved by the images before him. The 41-year-old could face a life sentence if found guilty for the 1975 murder of Moxley, his young friend and neighbor in the exclusive Belle Haven neighborhood of Greenwich, Connecticut. Dr. Henry Lee, the forensic expert who became famous during the O.J. Simpson case, also testified on Wednesday.

Diplomats and other observers in the region caution that the war talk is exaggerated, though not entirely. "The Abkhaz do have cause for concern," says a senior U.N. military expert. The risks of a new conflict are high, and top Georgian generals are "exuberant," speaking of a lightning strike that will have them in Sukhumi, the capital, within 24 hours, according to one observer.
