Rule of law means nothing to the lawyer Freisler. He uses law as a political instrument and as the President of the People's Court he becomes an executioner dressed in a red robe. Under his presidency the people's court becomes a mere instrument of terror. He sentences more than 50% of all defendants to death. Prior to sentencing he already tries to destroy them verbally
