		Jelisic, 31, stood silently in a courtroom this morning as Claude Jorda, the new presiding judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, read the names of his victims and decried the "repugnant, bestial, sadistic nature" of the crimes of which he was convicted two months ago.
		Jelisic pleaded guilty to killing 13 of the prisoners in his charge, but prosecutors painted a picture of dozens, even hundreds more Muslims and Croats who died at his orders before being dumped in a nearby river or crammed into refrigerator trucks and ferried to mass graves.
		Jelisic was indicted in 1995, near the end of the four-year ethnic war that raged across Bosnia and Croatia.
