(Brussels Times) After 19 days of deliberations (the longest deliberation ever at an Assize trial in Belgium), the jury will publicly announce its verdict at the trial on the March 2016 Brussels terror attacks at 16:30 on Tuesday.
In early July, the jury was given a volume of 388 pages with 287 questions. Not every question necessarily had to be answered as a number of them were subsidiary, and only had to be answered if the response to the previous main question was “yes.”
The most important question is whether the accused were guilty of the terrorist murder of the 32 victims: that question applies for nine of the ten accused. For the hundreds of people that were injured in the attacks in the Brussels Airport departure hall and on the Brussels metro, the jury also had to consider whether it counts as attempted terrorist murder.
