He portrays Eichmann as a tool of Nazi leaders, insists the state bears responsibility, and challenges the 1950 Nazi punishment law as applied in the case.

Israel denies the kidnapping claim and the defense cites a signed statement by Eichmann asserting he acted of his own free will, though proof may be offered that the statement was obtained under duress.
