Here is the report of a comrade who was present for the hearing:
On the first day of the trial against Monika and Alfred Schaefer, Alfred Schaefer was arrested in the courtroom today, on 2 July 2018, presumably because he showed on the demo in Nuremberg last Saturday how tall the little dog Pawlow can jump.
At the end of the trial, Monika Schaefer's lawyer submitted that the siblings Monika and Alfred Schaefer should at least be allowed to talk and greet in the courtroom, and that courtesy should be more appropriate to Monika Schaefer. When this request was denied by the prosecutor, Silvia Stoll exclaimed indignantly from the auditorium that this was outrageous, whereupon she was given a 2-day custody and was subsequently arrested in the courtroom.
A process observer, who comes from central Germany, remarked that such behavior would not have been possible even at the deepest GDR times.
Although the negotiation in the auditorium was hard to understand initially, the use of microphones was vehemently rejected by the judge. Only when the protests from the auditorium became louder and Monika Schaefer asked whether it should now be a public hearing or not, the microphones were turned on.
The court responded to remarks by Alfred Schaefer, saying that this was not a "Muppet Show".
There were about 20 process observers in the auditorium, so that, unexpectedly, a few more seats remained available.
Tomorrow it continues from 12:30 clock.
addendum:
Lady Michèle Renouf was present outside the courthouse to promptly inform the English-speaking world, in which the event receives the utmost attention. Immediately after the trial, she talked to the solicitor of Monika Schaefer about the course of the negotiations. The result of the conversation she shared promptly with her audience on several English-language World Network sites.
