And this also from Wikipedia:

“On 28 February 1953, the Munchen Hauptspruchkammer (main denazification court) declared Jodl not guilty of the main charges brought against him at Nuremberg. In doing so the court cited the French co-President of the Tribunal, Henri Donnedieu de Vebres, who had in 1949 called the verdict against Jodl a mistake. His property, which had been confiscated in 1946, was returned to his widow.”

Yes, but Henri Donnedieu de Vebres dissented because the French were concerned that some of their own senior officers could be likewise indicted and convicted in some future tribunal for committing the same and/or similar crimes; e.g. the arrest and transport of Jews to the German concentration camps and death camps. The German court decision did not establish precedent applicable to international law.
