Note 13 — Morning Session

Reading edition

Compare “Decision of Reichsgericht” (German Supreme Court) in RG. (Reichsgesetzblatt, Reich Law Gazette) 34, 328: “It is not sufficient to influence someone along the line of criminal thinking, or of direction of will per se, to justify the assumption of punishable instigation. It is adopted practice, therefore, that the concept of instigation does not exist as long as it involves persuasion of another person to commit criminal deeds in general—even though of a defined category—unless evidence is established that commission of the recent punishable action which actually occurred was in that person’s intent who originated the general summons.” Also compare RG. 26, 362.
