Jerusalem. July 25th 1932.
The Prosecutor, Dr. Blandeisler, sought to uphold the judgment of the Sanhedrin 2,000 years ago.
The appeal to confirm the earlier judgment lasted four hours.
The defense, by Dr. Reichswehr, lasted five hours, and provided that the judgment was unjust, and that, therefore, the Lord Jesus was the object of a judicial murder.
The judges’ verdict declared by 4 votes to 1 — “Jesus innocent.”
“The complaint against Him was based on a regrettable mistake, and the Divine judgment would fall on the Jewish people until they freed themselves from this sin, and accepted Him as their Saviour (atonement) for sin.”
