Interrogational torture criminal proceedings: reflections on legal history I

  • Subject of this publication is torture as an interrogational instrument in criminal proceedings from a legal history point of view. Thereby, the author makes a distinction between torturing the accused on the one hand and, on the other hand, torture as an instrument to force a witness' incriminating testimony against third parties (in German: Zeugenfolter), torture as a means to avert dangers (lifesaving torture), torture as an additional cruelty to the accused's punishment (in German: Straffolter), and corporal punlishment for lying in a court. Only the first manifestation, namely torturing the accused intending to extort his confession, is the real subject of this paper.
