After the reading of the verdict, one of the defendant’s legal advisor, Gustaf Kawer, SH, M. Hum, claiming objection to the verdict read by the judges, the article, for the first case, since the five defendants examined in court, treason clause had never touched the panel judges.

“The decision of the judges strongly correlated with the examination.
