Annulled conviction of Nicholas Ahlers
London reports Nicholas Ahlers a naturalized Englishman and former German consul in Munderland borough who was sentenced to death on a treason charge will be freed after the court of criminal appeal annulled his conviction. The decision cites lack of evidence that his acts aiding German reservists harmed England and that the war declaration question was misdirected to the jury.
