In late 2004, the Supreme Court sent the case back to the same court, ruling that the first trial was biased and "fraught with serious flaws in criminal procedure as well as erroneous and incomplete facts". The retrial, handled by a different panel of judges, opened in September the following year.
Krajem 2004. godine, Vrhovni sud vratio je predmet istom sudu, uz obrazloženje da je suđenje bilo pristrasno i praćeno ozbiljnim nedostacima u krivičnom postupku, kao i pogrešnim i nepotpunim podacima.” Ponovljeno suđenje, koje je vodilo promenjeno sudsko veće, počelo je u septembru sledeće godine.
