I assume that the dose of toxic agents that was given was so high, even after 5 months, the concentration in the tissues was found to be above the normal level - says American toxicologist David Smith, speaking about the condition of Mikheil Saakashvili.
At today's trial, Smith noted that Mikheil Saakashvili was poisoned by heavy metals and that these metals entered the third president's body while he was still in prison. Smith said he reviewed a large number of medical records, lab test results, hair, fingernail and blood samples, as well as extensive medical records and a 170-page report.
Mikheil Saakashvili cannot attend his own trial in the Tbilisi City Court due to his serious health condition. Judge Giorgi Arevadze is considering a motion to postpone or cancel the sentence, within the framework of which medical experts are being questioned.
