What do you think about the prosecution using comments made on the other site being used as evidence?

As he launched his cross-examination, Riisager continued the aggressive tactics with which he began the prosecution on Tuesday, asking Warg to comment on an article in Khmer440, an expat news site in Cambodia, which claimed that by the time of his arrest in 2012, he was "messed up on drugs", and "a total recluse" whose only contacts were "his dealers and landlord."

I'd say this is total bullshit;

Svartholm Warg's defence lawyer Luise Høj attacked the prosecution for its "aggressive" start to the trial, protesting that a video shown of squalid conditions in his Phnom Penh apartment at the time of his arrest was "totally irrelevant".

He was living above the Cadillac on riverside, not exactly squalid conditions

It appears that the article is wrong. None of this was said on 440, neither in a thread nor the front page article. It was said in an e-mail interview for Wired magazine by somebody from 440.

And I can't imagine secondhand hear-say about a messy apartment and other such minor stuff amounts to much in count. If this is the worst stuff they can come up with to impugn his character, I think they may be making an inadvertent argument for the defense.

This.

Seems silly they would even attempt some of this stuff.

But, you can't un-ring a bell. I always find it funny when the judge/jury is told something, then they're told to just forget it because they weren't supposed to hear that, LoL.
