The advertised plea to the charges begins next week. A dispute between the defenders must be fond of the defendants, and the criminal division. From Munich, Marcel reported Fürstenau.
Federal Prosecutor Herbert Diemer, here in an archive image, you need to be patient with his appeal still
About 22 hours would be required for the plea, said Federal Prosecutor Herbert Diemer on Tuesday in the trial against “national socialist underground” (NSU) before the Munich higher regional court. Earlier, the presiding judge Manfred Götzl had hinted at the end of the proof of the exception, a little later, he took it – after 373 days of negotiations. However, the representatives of the prosecution will go down on Wednesday. Of all the defenders of the main defendants Beate Zschäpe and four alleged helpers.
The beginning lawyer Olaf Klemke. His client is the life of the former NPD functionary Ralf. He should have taken care of to the satisfaction of the prosecution that the NSU received a weapon, the terrorist group moved way across the country. The terrible balance sheet: ten Dead. Well-life defenders don’t want to accept the fact that the Götzl-led criminal Senate at the beginning of the 374. Negotiating day refuses to tags previously requested audio recording of the arguments.
Green member of Notz criticised a lack of education
Klemke then apply for an interruption to a “procedural request”. The don’t want to join Zschäpe defender Wolfgang Heer, but first of all, to word. After a short interruption of a few minutes, the second lasts longer than two hours. When it finally goes, leaving the Green-Bundestag, Claudia Roth, and Konstantin von Notz, the spectator grandstand already. You need to continue to an event with your party friend and Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann.
Green in the NSU process: Claudia Roth and Konstantin von Notz had to leave, Volker Beck (v. l. n. R.) remained until the end
Especially the lawyer of Notz, which is in contrast to Roth for the first time at the NSU-process, would have liked to have heard more than tactically motivated the skirmish between the defenders and the criminal division. On the already long duration of the process – four years and two months – not his. This is not to stand by him as a representative to the legislature, he says of the German wave. As an attentive observer of the recent NSU-investigation Committee of the Bundestag, but he has a clear opinion on the actions of the government. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, 2012 pledge of free education had been “redeemed”.
Judge Götzl: “We need to discuss in detail”
While the parliamentarians in distant Berlin, dealt with the role of state authorities in the NSU-complex, need to measure the judge in Munich, the individual guilt of the five defendants. What is the sentence calls for the prosecution with a Federal Prosecutor Diemer at the top, as is the General Public, perhaps until after the summer break at the end of August or beginning of September. “The Situation is this: We have to advise us in detail,” says judge Götzl after the last break on Wednesday.
Also Adile Simsek, widow of NSU victim Enver Simsek, must continue to wait on the plea of the public Prosecutor’s office
Because of the need for advice due to the rejected recording is so great, he sets the day of the trial on Thursday. It continues until next week Tuesday. Then Götzl will announce first, the decision of a criminal Senate, whether the plea to the charges held may, in writing, and the parties to the proceedings will be handed out. That would be from the point of view of all of the defendant’s defender is a compromise.
Federal Prosecutor Diemer is visibly annoyed
Mathias Grasel, one of zschäpe’s five defenders, insists on a copy of the pleadings. His client does not see the situation, “to follow a 22-hour lecture, without him in the connection in writing again recap”. Federal Prosecutor Diemer replied with the note that there would be breaks. And he adds recognizable not annoyed – it was the task of the prosecution, your plea “to any understanding of the horizon”. Furthermore, he was convinced, “that the defendant will understand what we say”.
Live defender Klemke and his colleague, Nicole Schneider see it quite differently: her client was due to its over five and a half years of detention “enormous difficulties with his concentration and memory retention”. You also do not believe, “you can appreciate how you feel after five and a half years in prison,” adds cutter in the direction of Diemer.
Also, another bias application, it is conceivable
Under the impression of the word battles, it will hold some of the parties that the pleadings even start until after the summer break. Also conceivable is another challenge for bias against the presiding judge, Götzl, or the whole of the criminal division. Of the beginning have been made since the trial in may 2013, several.
In addition to plaintiffs ‘ attorney Sebastian Scharmer the actions of the defendant-defender thinks is hopeless. But he had no Problem with it, if all would receive a copy of the pleadings. “That would hurt you,” he says of the DW after a turbulent hearing in the NSU process. To be continued – next week.
