On March 20, 1946, Robert H Jackson argues various points with Chief Justice Sir Geoffrey Lawrence regarding the length of Goering's response to cross examination questions. Jackson shows his displeasure with the ruling which permits Goering to elaborate on his answers to Jackson's questions. For further information, see www.roberthjackson.org
Aren't all you commenters smart! So, let's hypothetically assume the trials were bullshit. But all the jews and others are still dead, no? What would you do? The US may have essentially run the trials. Perhaps they were ex post facto. But the alternative action, that Truman did not take but was recommended to him, was to just take all the Nazi captives and shoot them. That's what Churchill wanted to do.

Oh I get it Jackson, Goering's statements are based on propaganda while yours have no hidden agenda at all. This trial was a joke.

Limiting speech and rebuttal is classic totalitarianism which proves the U.S. is no better than any other nation.

Exactly, Goering showed the hypocrisy of the Allied case against the Germans.

Goering made a very valid point.

Jackson was a bully and was doing the same things Nazi's were doing in their courts...limiting speech and rebuttal.
