Actually: a more correct title would be: 'Geert Wilders trial suspended pending an independent court review of Wilders's top brass lawyer's request that one of the judges be replaced following said judge's comments on Wilders's lawful decision to remain silent'. Admittedly, that would be a bit long. Then again: the present title is only correct in the sense that it has the chronological order right. The suggestion that the 'attack' and the suspension are related is still utter bolleaux.
Bottom line: the suspension has nothing to do with what Wilders did or did not say. It's about the Wilders team exersising their legal right to question the impartiality of one the judges. There will be a ruling regarding the suitability of the judge tomorrow and the case will continue (presumably) after that ruling.
