MEMORANDUM OF THE BRITISH PROSECUTION
ON THE MOTION ON BEHALF OF DEFENDANT
STREICHER
INTERNATIONAL MILITARY
TRIBUNAL
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE FRENCH
REPUBLIC, THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND,
and THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS
against
HERMANN WILHELM GÖRING, et al.,
Defendants.
The Chief Prosecutor of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland respectfully opposes the application for
an adjournment of Counsel for the Defendant STREICHER for the
following reasons:
I.
1) Counsel for the Defendant Streicher
accepted that position on 27 October 1945.
2) The Indictment against the said defendant and others was
published on 18 October 1945 and served on the Defendant Streicher
shortly thereafter.
3) The said Counsel has therefore had a considerable time to
familiarise himself with the contents of the Indictment and
especially these which, as appears in the part of the Appendix A,
page 33 relating to the said defendant, are particularly relevant to
him. In this connection the Chief Prosecutor respectfully refers to
Page 5, Section IV(D)(3)(d) and page 26 Section X(A) and (B) of the
Indictment.
4) This Chief Prosecutor further respectfully reminds the Court
that the said Counsel has got a week from the filing of this answer
until the commencement of the Trial, and in addition any time which
may be occupied by the opening of the case and any matters
preliminary to evidence being produced requiring cross-examination by
Counsel for the Defendant Streicher.
5) If oral evidence is called relating to the part alleged to
have been played by the said defendant and the said Counsel is not
ready to cross-examine, he will be able to ask for a postponement of
his cross-examination.
