After the testimony of the Swiss police officer yesterday, the court today heard testimony from a Swiss prosecutor who had questioned Hans-Ulrich M\u00fcller and his acquaintance. His testimony too confirmed the evidence taken so far: M\u00fcller\u2019s acquaintance confirmed that he had sold the papers for buying a gun to M\u00fcller for 400 Swiss francs, that M\u00fcller had told him that he was planning to sell the gun in Germany where it was hard for \u201ccertain people\u201d to get their hands on guns, and that M\u00fcller had told him it was better for him if he did not ask any more questions. M\u00fcller denied everything, but his statements were contradictory.<\/p>\n
Like yesterday, the defense Wohlleben tried everything to have the witness state that M\u00fcller\u2019s acquaintance had been subjected to undue pressure. Like yesterday, the witness explained clearly that such pressure had not existed. The prosecutor had even arranged for a \u201cconfrontative questioning\u201d with M\u00fcller and his acquaintance to allow the former to pose questions to the latter and thus to verify the latter\u2019s testimony.<\/p>\n
The situation therefore is still the same as in early July (see the reports of 1 July 2014<\/a> and 3 July 2014<\/a>): the trial proceedings have not shown any reason to doubt that Wohlleben is guilty as charged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More testimony on the murder weapon.
