If I'm not mistaken, the defendant in the trial was a judge who actually sentenced Jews to the concentration camps. That is quite different than an attorney who gives an opinion as to whether certain actions are legal. The person who actually commits the alleged crimes bears the responsibility.

My opinion is unchanged.
