On 19 July 2005, Miroslav Bralo pleaded guilty to charges contained in eight counts of an amended Indictment that was filed by the Prosecution that same day. The guilty pleas were accompanied by a written, public Plea Agreement reached between Mr. Bralo and the Prosecution, containing a Factual Basis for the crimes contained in the amended Indictment. Being satisfied that
the guilty pleas were voluntary, were unequivocal, and were made in an informed manner, Trial Chamber I entered convictions against Mr. Bralo for each of the eight counts.

Following Mr. Bralo's conviction, his case was transferred to this Trial Chamber, which held a Sentencing Hearing on 20 October 2005. At the Hearing, the Prosecution and the Defence made oral submissions to assist the Chamber in its determination of an appropriate sentence. In addition, the Chamber received written briefs from the Prosecution and the Defence, which included witness
statements and other documents considered relevant by the parties. The Chamber also heard briefly from Mr. Bralo himself at the Hearing.
