At the end of the 19th day of the trial, defense attorney Nicole Schneider had images from her client Markus H.'s evidence projected onto a screen in the courtroom - and shook the urgent suspicion against him.
Markus H. is charged with complicity in the murder of the Kassel district president Walter Lübcke.
He is still in custody.
On that day, his ex-girlfriend Lisa-Marie D. was questioned as a witness before the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main (OLG) for more than six hours.
The two have a daughter together, she is four years old.
D. had heavily incriminated Markus H. in the investigation.
She had spoken of joint target practice with Stephan Ernst in the forest and of H's anger at Walter Lübcke.
According to her, he had demanded that the CDU politician should be "hanged".
And she said that outsiders saw Markus H. as a thinker and Stephan Ernst as a doer.
A statement that the Federal Prosecutor's Office confirmed in its assumption: Markus H. is the ideological agitator and agitator.
According to the prosecution, H. was a psychological accessory to the murder.
