Article 12 of the Charter, which gives it the right to take
proceedings in absentia. But the evidence of death is not
conclusive, and the Tribunal, as previously stated, is determined to

the Charter, consider any facts in mitigation, and alter or reduce
his sentence, if deemed proper.
Conclusion
The Tribunal finds that Bormann is not guilty on
Count One, but is guilty on Counts Three and Four.
