On December 12, 2013, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court filed an application [3] requesting the adjournment of the provisional trial date in the Prosecutor v. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta case.  According to the press release [4], the Prosecutor encountered problems with key witnesses and thus concluded that her case “does not satisfy the high evidentiary standards required at trial.”  The Prosecutor further stated that she “need[s] time to complete efforts to obtain additional evidence” and consider whether the evidence meets such standards.  She also stated that the “decision is based solely on the specific facts of this case devoid of extraneous considerations.”
