The court accuses Yoo and other lawyers of the administration with creating a legal framework that justified the torture of a Spanish citizen, said Christopher Kutz, a Boalt Hall School of Law professor and vice chairman of the campus’s Academic Senate. But because the case is being reviewed in Spain, Kutz said it is doubtful whether Yoo and the other lawyers will be arrested. “The likelihood of him being arrested and standing trial is basically zero,” Kutz said. “The case has legal significance apart from that, because it concerns the possible violation of serious domestic and international laws.”
