| Military Tribunal I Case No. 8 |
| In the Case of The United States of America
vs. Ulrich Greifelt, et al. |
| Order with Respect to
Sentence of Konrad Meyer-Hetling* |
| In the case of the United States of America against Ulrich Greifelt, et al., tried by United States Military Tribunal I, Case No. 8, Nuremberg, Germany, the Tribunal was of the opinion that, with regard to the defendant Konrad Meyer-Hetling, the time already spent in confinement pending trial, namely, since 27 May 1945, was sufficient punishment for the offense for which the defendant was convicted and therefore ordered that he should be discharged from custody by the Marshal when the Tribunal adjourned on 10 March 1948. A petition to modify the sentence, filed on behalf of the defendant by Dr. Kurt Behling, his defense counsel, has been referred to me pursuant to the provisions of Military Government Ordinance No. 7. I have duly considered the petition and the record of the trial, and in accordance with Article XVII of said Ordinance, it is hereby ordered that the sentence imposed by Military Tribunal I on Konrad Meyer-Hetling be, and hereby is, in all respects confirmed. |
