The year-long treason trial of Zimbabwe opposition chief Morgan Tsvangirai for allegedly plotting to kill President Robert Mugabe and stage a military coup ended, but judgment was not expected for several months. If convicted, Tsvangirai, could face the death penalty. "The trial in this matter commenced in February last year and since then a lot of evidence was led," said senior High Court judge Paddington Garwe. "There will obviously be need for this court to go through all that evidence ... and carefully assess the facts against the law." "Accordingly, judgment in this case is reserved," he said, adding that once he was ready to deliver judgment, he would announce the date he would hand it down.
