At one point after the killings he was in the car with his driver, Milorad Birčaković. His driver testified that the two of them were silent in the car and they didn’t talk because they were in despair (about the killings). This statement however only can be imputed to the driver himself. It was the driver’s statement and reflects only his state of mind. It cannot be used to assume that Trbić (who actually said nothing) was in agreement with this. On the contrary, in a situation where much could be said and shared he just remained silent.
Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Milorad Trbić, First Instance Verdict, X-KR-07/386, 16 October 2009, para. 807.
