The Finnish Volunteers adn atrocities 1941-1943 (Finnish Archives PDF study)

[Chris Boonzaier]

And let's assume there's a trial of an Auschwitz guard. The prosecution claims that he has a witness to prove that. Then on cross examination the witness is asked that is the defendant the guard the witness saw committing the crime. Then the witness states "I do not recognize the defendant." How would the court rule, if the basis of the trial was this witness testimony?

The individual guard would not be found guilty... but it would not be cause to doubt what the Guards did there.


Can you prove I did... or did not... Sleep with Amy Peters? No....


Would that have any effect on whether I did ... or not?


No.
