“Fairness is not weakness. The extraordinary fairness of these hearings is an attribute of our strength … Let me emphasize one cardinal point. The United States has no interest which would be advanced by the conviction of any defendant if we have not proved him guilty on at least one of the counts charged against him in the indictment. Any result that the calm and critical judgment of posterity would pronounce unjust would not be a victory for any of the countries associated in this prosecution.”—Robert Jackson, Chief U.S. Counsel at the Nuremberg Trials
