The challenge brought by the Wohlleben defense for alleged bias was rejected yesterday \u2013 as was to be expected. The court was thus free to continue the trial today \u2013 and continued to kill time.<\/p>\n
In the morning, it heard two federal police detectives who detailed notes of the NSU\u2019s scouting out potential targets in several cities. Of course, their testimony did not lead to more detailed findings than simply looking at the notes themselves would have \u2013 but it did take 1 1\/2 hours so that the court could break for lunch afterwards.<\/p>\n
After the lunch break, the court listened to the prosecution\u2019s statement concerning motions for evidence brought by victims\u2019 counsel on\u00a028 October\u00a02015<\/a> (the gist of that statement: reject (almost) all of them, it is of no relevance to our proceedings if others surrounding the NSU maybe built up other terrorist groups), rejected the motion brought by Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s assigned counsel on\u00a010 November 2015<\/a> to be relieved, gave a very short notice on what the court had known about alleged victim \u201cMeral Keskin\u201d and refused a more detailed statement. Having finished a hard day\u2019s work, the court concluded the trial day at 1:51 pm.<\/p>\n Given the list of witnesses for the next weeks, it seems likely that the court will continue conducting such a half-hearted trial until 8 December 2015, the date for which Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s statement has been announced. It seems that the court has high hopes for this statement. Given the evidence so far, which has fully confirmed the indictment, this is surprising. The court is in danger of furthering Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s self-perception as the person who decides on the future course of the trial against her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Waiting for the accused The challenge brought by the Wohlleben defense for alleged bias was rejected yesterday \u2013 as was to be expected.
