'All citizens are equal': lawyer in Spain princess trial Spain's Princess Cristina and her husband went on trial Monday under intense global media scrutiny in a landmark corruption case that has outraged the country and sullied the monarchy's reputation. The lawyer who brought the case against her said "All citizens are equal before the law and as a result anachronistic doctrines cannot be applied" that would "privilege" the princess, referring to Spanish jurisprudence which allows an accused to escape trial if the victim of an alleged crime -- in this case the state -- does not back the charges.
