In the trial of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev the defense called U.S energy specialist S. Wesley Haun as an expert witness. Haun opined that the charges (stealing all oil extracted by Yukos) are refuted by the company's achievements under the defendants' management. He also opined that Yukos's business practices were similar to those of other Russian and foreign oil companies. In spite of an impressive CV, the prosecution refuses to recognize Haun as an expert. "We don't care what a foreign citizen can tell us," Prosecutor Gyulchekhra Ibragimova stated.
