A new trial fore Pieter, Menten will start before the Rotterdam District Court on May 13. This followed a recent decision by the Supreme Court that Menten, 80, cannot be considered legally insane. The Rotterdam court had earlier suspended Menten’s trial indefinitely because, according to two of three psychiatric experts consulted by the court Menten was no longer fit to stand trial in view of his mental condition.
