The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber has received evidence from sever<strong>al</strong> witnesses of artilleryimpacts and other damage caused by artillery observed in Knin after 5 August 1995.1342. John Hill testified that on 6 August 1995, when he went into Knin with Corpor<strong>al</strong>Trembly and a Croatian soldier, he thought that the damage was not as severe as he hadexpected based on the amount of rounds he saw shot into the town. 5280 Hill sawForand’s house and found it to be ransacked. 5281 He found two rock<strong>et</strong> tubes on a lawnnext to the house. 5282 When driving by the South Barracks, Hill did not see any damag<strong>et</strong>here. 5283 He stated that the hospit<strong>al</strong> seemed to be undamaged on the side of the mainentrance, which faces north-east.

Intheir closing arguments, the <strong>Gotovina</strong> Defence contend that Hill incorrectly identified the location ofForand’s residence on P300, citing Dawes’s testimony. See T. 29235-29236. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber notesthat Dawes did not mark Forand’s residence on a map, but testified that he entered a residenti<strong>al</strong> area northof the TVIK factory, from a road close Forand’s house. Although Dawes’s route as marked on D586appears to relate to an area east of that marked by Roberts on P300, having compared the two witnesses’testimonies, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber cannot establish that the testimonies are contradictory.5283 P291 (John Hill, witness statement, 23 August 1996), p. 6.709Case No.: IT-06-90-T 15 April 2011 `
