Printer’s court verdict on Jesus Trial ends libel case
In Troyes a French court convicted Rev Georges de Nantes of libel in a landmark case dubbed the Jesus Trial. The priest had accused lawyer Jacques Isorni of blaming the Jews for Jesus death while Isorni argued Pontius Pilate alone bore responsibility. The court awarded symbolic damages of one franc and said it could only rule on libel, acknowledging the gospel's religious interpretation rather than theological truth.
