AMMAN, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The sentencing of the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein on Sunday to death by hanging after a U.S.-sponsored Iraqi court convicted him for crimes against humanity was a mockery of justice, his defence team said. "This is a mockery of justice and a judgement that comes from a sham and illegal court created by the U.S. occupation that cannot ever provide a fair trial," lawyer Bushra al-Khalil, told Reuters in Amman where the defence team is based.
