Thank you :seeya:
I have an inkling of how Luka may be feeling right now, and why I think it unlikely he will defend himself. I know none of us can know for certain, but I reckon he's not in a good place.
On the plane, he was seen to be crying and extremely on edge. In the bar in Paris he was described as 'extremely nervous' (not excited, which was a mistranslation, but nervous), and one account from the internet café described him as being nervous and agitated.
Also, the police and prison guards have described him as being a 'model prisoner', quiet and 'meek'.
I reckon he realises he is now way out of his depth and not in control, and that scares him. In all his previous actions he went out of his way to be in control, but it was mostly an illusion from behind a computer screen. I think he now realises how little he is, and he's scared.
That's why I don't think he'll mount his own defence. He knows he'd be out of his depth.
It's one thing being the master of your online persona, but another when others are in control.
Just my thoughts.
