:15:10
I represent the defendant, Your Honor.
:15:14
How do you plead to the charges
and specifications set forth...
:15:17
in the indictment against you?
Guilty or not guilty?
:15:25
Your Honor, may I address the court?
:15:39
The defendant does not recognize
the authority of this tribunal...
:15:42
and wishes to lodge a formal protest
in lieu of pleading.
:15:46
A plea of "not guilty" will be entered.
:16:02
The prosecution
will begin its opening address.
:16:06
Slow and easy, Junior.
:16:22
The case is unusual...
:16:24
in that the defendants
are charged with crimes...
:16:27
committed in the name of the law.
:16:30
These men, together with their deceased
or fugitive colleagues...
:16:35
are the embodiment of what passed
for justice during the Third Reich.
:16:41
The defendants served as judges
during the period of the Third Reich.
:16:46
Therefore, you, Your Honors,
as judges on the bench...
:16:50
will be sitting in judgment...
:16:53
of judges in the dock.
:16:56
And this is as it should be.
:16:59
For only a judge knows
how much more a court is than a courtroom.
