/Prosecutor: The defendant had taken part in the demonstration here in Magdeburg on June 17 as a ringleader. Some provocateurs had already succeeded in taking away the carbines of five police officers, and the accused took possession of one of these carbines.  He then shot the People's Police officer Schneider through a window of the detention center with this carbine - he had loaded the weapon beforehand. The member of the People's Police Schneider was killed on the spot.  It should also be noted that the defendant constantly shouted abuse and threats during his entire stay in the city and during the riot in front of the detention center.  When the Soviet friends finally arrived with their tanks, the accused was one of the last to leave the field.
/Jennrich: I was never willing to become a tool of these people, or a tool of provocateurs from the West, of people who were trying to exploit the workers. [Sobs] I did ... I can only say one thing, that I never wanted to become a murderer and I never committed murder, because I know for a fact that I never fired a shot at a member of the People's Police in the right window.
