The trial day today began at 11:30 \u2013 rejecting the challenges for alleged bias brought by the Wohlleben defense took some time. The court then read into evidence some police reports on fake letter bombs sent out around New Year\u2019s 1996\/1997\u2013 by members of the \u201cComradeship Jena\u201d according to the evidence. Our colleague Peer Stolle, in his closing statement<\/a>, had referred to these and other crimes committed before 1998 to show that the accused and their \u201ccomrades\u201d had already formed a criminal organization at that point, an organization which must be considered a precursor to the NSU.<\/p>\n In the early afternoon, the court then asked Zsch\u00e4pe defense counsel Borchert to begin his closing statement, but Borchert announced that Zsch\u00e4pe was ill. After a visit by the court physician, the trial and thus the beginning of the closing statement was thus postponed until tomorrow.<\/p>\n Today not only the wife of Ralf Wohlleben was present \u201cto give assistance\u201d to her husband, but so was the wife of Andr\u00e9 Eminger, Susann Eminger \u2013 who is suspected of having provided support to the NSU and is therefore subject of an ongoing criminal investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Defense closing statements to start tomorrow.
