The 28-year-old German Stephan Balliet confessed to the crimes and justified them with anti-Semitic, racist and anti-feminist conspiracy theories.

45 survivors and dependents have joined the prosecution as joint prosecutors.

You are represented by 21 lawyers, but spoke several times during the trial as well as during the closing lectures.
