CORRECTS SECOND SENTENCE A red carnation lies on a banner showing photos of some of the Spanish civil war victims during a protest outside the Supreme Court on the last day of judge Baltasar Garzon’s trial in Madrid Wednesday Feb. 8, 2012. The Spanish judge who became an international human rights hero is on trial for knowingly overstepping the bounds of his jurisdiction with his unprecedented albeit abortive probe of crimes committed by the Franco side. Both sides in the Spanish war _ the Republican side and Franco’s rebel rightwing forces _ committed atrocities. But they were addressed by a post-Franco-era amnesty approved by Parliament. Republican atrocities against pro-Franco civilians had already been thoroughly documented by the regime. (Paul White / Associated Press)
