Seção Especial de Justiça
Writer
Essa história é verdadeira. Um Tribunal de Exceção, uma Seção Especial, foi formado para condenar seis homens inocentes. Mas todos os juízes que o compunham foram condenados primeiro, antes de cumprirem o seu grotesco papel. Na França ocupada durante a WW2, um oficial alemão foi morto. O colaboracionista Governo de Vichy decidiu atribuir a responsabilidade pela morte à seis criminosos "Pé-de-Chinelo". Juízes leais ao governo foram chamados para julgar e condenar o mais rápido possível. Aparentemente a tradução do título original para o Brasil foi meio capenga. Ficou Sessão com "ss" e não com "ç".
