MEMORANDUM OF THE UNITED STATES
PROSECUTION ON THE MOTION ON BEHALF
OF DEFENDANT STREICHER
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 United States of America, acting through its
Chief Prosecutor, opposes the Motion of Counsel for Defendant
STREICHER for the following reasons:
(1)
Since Counsel accepted the assignment to
represent said defendant on 27 October 1945, he has been provided
with a list of documents relied upon by the Prosecutor, and has been
permitted to examine the documents and decrees referred to in such
list; that such documents and exhibits will remain available to said
Counsel throughout the Trial in the Defendant's Information Center in
Room No. 54 of the Court House in Nuremberg where German speaking
custodians are available for assistance in expediting such
examination.
(2)
Said defendant will have additional time to examine
documentary evidence and further prepare his defense until the
Prosecution presents its Case in Chief.
(3)
Defendant STREICHER is the only defendant who has requested
postponement, and his application does not show any facts of hardship
that would follow which would be limited to his particular defense.
Further he does not show any specific injury to his defense if the
Motion should be denied.
(4)
No objection is made to request in Section II of the Motion.
(5)
It is agreed that the film on Concentration Camps may be shown to
Defense Counsel prior to the Trial.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the Motion be
overruled.
