Today the court first read out several documents, including documents concerning a search of the apartment of David Petereit, member of parliament in the Land of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for the Nazi party NPD and former editor of the Nazi zine \u201cThe White Wolf\u201d. During the search, police found a copy of the \u201cNSU letter\u201d which the organization had send out, together with sums of money, to several neo-Nazi organizations. In the next issue in 2002, \u201cThe White Wolf\u201d had published a Thank you-Note to the NSU, adding that \u201cit has been fruitful:) The Fight goes on…\u201d Petereit has been summoned to testify tomorrow.<\/p>\n
After the obligatory lunch break, the court read out further decisions rejecting motions for evidence, this time motions made in February and April of 2014 (!) concerning the attempts by the Hessian secret service to hinder the police investigation of the NSU\u2019s murder of Halit Yozgat in Kassel and to protect its officer Temme, who had been present at the crime scene but who claimed not to have noticed anything. This involvement of the secret service, too, is simply \u201cwithout relevance\u201d in the opinion of the court. The court even went so far as to state that Temme\u2019s claims that he had not only failed to notice the murder, but had not even seen Yozgat\u2019s dead body when he left the internet caf\u00e9, was \u201cbelievable\u201d \u2013 a conclusion which is contrary even to that of most of the police detectives and which, judging from their facial expressions, was surprising event to the federal prosecutors.<\/p>\n
The decision clearly shows the court trying to simply brush away any doubts and open questions concerning the murder in Kassel, to simply convict all accused according to the indictment and avoid the secret service issue altogether. The reasoning shows the full extent of the creativity which a Court of Appeals \u201cState Security Division\u201d will use in summarizing and assessing the evidence heard in court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
