The common principle of criminal law in every civilization is that anyone who encourages the murder or is the accessory of the murder is guilty, even though it is for the benefit of the country.

In the end, the line said that the Nuremberg trials held in the American zone ended July 14, 1949. There were 99 defendants sentenced to prision terms. However in 1961, no one is still serving his sentence. What an irony!
However, I admire Doctor Earnest, who was brave enough to admit his guilt and shoulder the responsibility. But it may be the most terrible thing to tell a judge that the first man you sentenced to death was innocent.
And as the judge said to the defendant counsel, to be logical is not to be right.
