Judge Amit Mehta : “Shoot these rabid dogs. Death to this gang who hide their ferocious teeth, their eagle claws, from the people! Down with that vulture Rhodes, from whose mouth a bloody venom drips, putrefying the great ideals of progressivism! Down with these abject animals! Let’s put an end once and for all to these miserable hybrids of foxes and pigs, these stinking corpses! Let’s exterminate the mad dogs of Trumpism, who want to tear to pieces the flower of our enlightened and progressive nation! Let’s push the bestial hatred they bear our leaders back down their own throats! This dog of the Fascist bourgeoisie, this mad dog of Trumpism, deserves to be shot, but I can only sentence this accursed vermin to 25 years in prison.”

“As a prominent ideologist of Nazism, he influenced the Nazification of Germany’s legal system as a jurist. He attended the Wannsee Conference, the 1942 event which set the Holocaust in motion. He was appointed President of the People’s Court in 1942, overseeing the prosecution of political crimes as a judge, and became known for his aggressive personality, his humiliation of defendants, and frequent use of the death penalty in sentencing.”

“In the late 1930s, during Joseph Stalin’s Great Purge in the Soviet Union, Freisler attended the Moscow Trials to watch the proceedings against the condemned.”

“He joined the Nazi Party in July 1925 as Member #9679, and gained authority immediately within the organisation by using his legal training to defend members of it who were regularly facing prosecutions for acts of political violence.”

“Freisler’s mastery of legal texts, mental agility, dramatic courtroom verbal dexterity and verbal force, in combination with his zealous conversion to Nazi ideology, made him the most feared judge in Nazi Germany, and the personification of Nazism in domestic law.”

“Between 1942 and 1945, more than 5,000 death sentences were decreed by him”

[He was killed by a USAAF bombing raid.]
