... that Frederick the Great personally convicted six judges for their involvement in the Miller Arnold case and sentenced them to a custodial penalty?
Overall: @WatkynBassett: I normally don't contribute to Wikipedia in relation to legal topics. But as I am a lawyer who can speak German, it seemed appropriate that I review this nomination, especially as the new article appeared to be about a very interesting topic. I prefer the first hook, as what it says is truly bizarre to a lawyer accustomed to the now well accepted doctrine of judicial independence, whereas the second hook is a little obscure. As usual, I have carried out some minor copyediting as well as the review. Bahnfrend (talk) 09:06, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
