All of the German defendants were found guilty and more than half were sentenced to death. Yet none was executed and, a decade later, all had been released from prison. This outcome resulted primarily from the dogged efforts of Willis M. Everett, Jr., a prominent Atlanta attorney who jeopardized his status as a member of the social elite to defend with great zealLawyersUnited StatesBiographyMalmedy Massacre, 1944-1945War crime trialsGermanyWorld War, 1939-1945AtrocitiesLawyersMalmedy Massacre, 1944-1945.War crime trialsWorld War, 1939-1945Atrocities.940.54/05/0949346Weingartner James J.1940-1491375MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783015903321A peculiar crusade3823197UNINA
