6 (b) the evidence was credible, and (c) the evidence was such that it would probably show that the conviction was unsafe. Applying these criteria to the evidence sought to be admitted, the Appeals Chamber was not satisfied that the interests of justice required that any material which was not available at trial be presented on appeal. 17. Further motions for the admission of additional evidence pursuant to Rule 115 were made by the Defence on 8 January and 19 April 1999. 27 By oral orders of 25 January and 19 April 1999, the motions were rejected by the Appeals Chamber. 28 3. Contempt proceedings 18. In the course of the appeal process, proceedings were initiated by the Appeals Chamber against Mr. Milan Vujin, former lead counsel for the Appellant, relating to allegations of contempt of the International Tribunal. 29 These allegations are subject to proceedings separate from the Appeals. 19. A hearing on the contempt proceedings commenced on 26 April 1999. The matter is currently pending before the Appeals Chamber. 27 “Appellant’s Second Motion to Admit Additional Evidence on Appeal Pursuant to Rule 115 of the Tribunal’s Rules”, Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 8 January 1999; “Motion (3) to Admit Additional Evidence on Appeal Pursuant to Rule 115 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence”, Case No.: IT-94-1, 19 April 1999. 28 T. 307-308 (25 January 1999); T. 20 (19 April 1999). 29 See “Scheduling Order Concerning Allegations against Prior Counsel”, Case No.: IT-94-1-A, 10 February 1999.
