The court began with the testimony of several police officers concerning the guns found in the Fr\u00fchlingsstra\u00dfe\u00a0apartment and in the mobile home in Eisenach.<\/p>\n
Their testimony helped rebut conspiracy theories concerning the NSU, such as the claim that no brain matter had been found next to the dead bodies of B\u00f6hnhardt and Mundlos, showing that they had been murdered elsewhere and placed in the mobile home: answering a question from the Wohlleben defense, a technician with the criminal police answered that there had been \u201clots of brain matter and lots of blood\u201d next to the bodies.<\/p>\n
Another witness rebutted the claim often hinted at by the Wohlleben defense that the Ceska murder weapon had been placed in the ruins of the Fr\u00fchlingsstra\u00dfe apartment by third parties: the police officer who had found the weapon there reported that it had been found in the very bottom of a huge pile of rubble and only after several hours of excavating. Noone but the police had been allowed on the grounds on the day the gun was found.<\/p>\n
The officers\u2019 testimony was followed by additional answers by the Zsch\u00e4pe defense to questions posed by the court and the Schultze defense, read out by Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s counsel Borchers.\u00a0Like her earlier statements, these answers were very vague, Zsch\u00e4pe claims not to have known anything and not to have thought about anything. Neither, according to her, had Andr\u00e9 Eminger known anything.<\/p>\n
These answers presented by Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s defense attorney remain very low in details when it comes to central issues, while marginal issues are presented at great length. They seem quite farfetched and unbelievable and even contradictory in themselves: thus Zsch\u00e4pe had claimed at first that she had several times implored the two men to stop killing \u2013 today she claimed that she had not even dared talk about topics such as getting an internet connection for fear of being hit by Uwe B\u00f6hnhardt.<\/p>\n
The presiding judge announced that other parties (i.e. the prosecution, victims\u2019 counsel and the expert witness) will be able to pose their questions tomorrow, meaning that the court is not planning to ask additional questions at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
