THE JUDGE
The judge conducts the trial and subsequently passes a verdict. To this end, he has to ascertain all facts which are relevant in judging the crime and the offender. The judge is also bound to act impartially, neutrally, objectively and without prejudice. If after evaluating all the evidence the judge has doubts about the defendants guilt he has to acquit the defendant. If the judge comes to the conclusion that the defendant is guilty, he has to impose an appropriate penalty.
