		Freisler's brief moment of fame in history comes in the wake of the failed July 20, 1944 coup attempt against the Nazi regime.
		The obscene manner in which Freisler humiliates the unfortunate July 20th conspirators in his court room - bellowing at them non-stop and denying them the right to wear belts or suspenders so that their trousers fall - prompts even members of Hitler's entourage to recommend that he be reigned in.

		Freisler was a radical socialist, but even though Hitler never trusted him, he used Freisler and his Peoples Court to do the dirtiest and most egregious judicial sodomizing of the opponents of the Nazi regime.
		Ryan, in the same manner of Roland Freisler, rigged the illegal proceeding of Steve Nary but didn’t engage in the yelling and screaming that Freisler did.

		Roland Freisler, chief of the Nazis’ “People’s Court”, is sent from Berlin to Munich to conduct a show trial against the students — in spite of the fact that the death penalty has already been decided from the outset.
		At a hearing that makes a mockery of all the rules of jurisprudence, Sophie and her brother are sentenced to the death penalty.
		During the trial, Sophie battles so brilliantly against Freisler (who is positively snorting with rage) that her steadfast behaviour even wins her the approval of the male Nazi spectators at court.

		President of the ‘People’s Court’, Judge Roland Freisler, known as ‘Hitler’s hanging judge’, was brought down especially from Berlin for the proceedings.
		The Scholls and Probst and their families had no time to arrange for defence lawyers (and may not have found anyone willing to stand up for their cause), so were assigned lawyers by the court, who were appointed just the day before the trial and had no real intention of effectively defending the three students.
		The case against the students was chiefly made by the judge himself, Roland Freisler, who went into long, frenzied rants against the defendants.

	The Daily Judge
		Roland Freisler, the spirited lawyer and admirer of Hitler, was VGH president from 1942 until his death in 1945.
		"Raving Roland," as he was called, was the judge in the February 22, 1943 "trial" of Sophie Scholl and other members of The White Rose, a tiny resistance movement at Munich University that hoped to convince people that continuing the war was futile.
		It's reviewed in yesterday's (02.17.2006) NYT by Stephen Holden, who refers to Judge Freisler's "fulminations" in the courtroom as having "a tone of desperate, hysterical fury." The depiction and his nickname are justified: "Belittling, impatient, loud, verbose and anything but just, Freisler's outbursts in the courtroom are legendary...

		Three women had never been indicted, sent to face the judge with no charges filed against them, no attorney to defend their case (except for a court-appointed lawyer who was assigned to "defend" them that morning in court).
		Freisler ranted and raved, he insulted them, tried to degrade them, ridiculed them before an audience of highly-decorated Nazi officers and leering Gestapo agents.
