Jackson's initial questioning towards Goring appears to be sabotaged by the judges, especially Biddle. On the surface, their rulings don't make sense as they seem to be deliberately hampering Jackson's ability to prosecute the case by ordering him to allow Goring to make speeches about his motives. Closer inspection of his line of questioning shows that Jackson is asking nothing of Goring that hasn't already been established: that Goring ordered the Jews be segregated from German society, that camps to hold them be set up, and that out of duty, he supported Hitler's invasion plans; none of which implicates Goring in committing any war crimes or crimes against humanity. Later after better preparation, Jackson pins Goring to the wall by getting him to admit that he wasn't just trying to have the Jews deported or taken out of German economic life as he had maintained, but that he actually knew about and actively approved of the Jews of Europe being wiped out to the last man, woman and child. Jackson goes even further and completely burns down all of Goring's credibility by calling out his Blatant Lies that even Hitler didn't know about the extermination of the Jews, by producing a letter written and signed by Hitler himself to Goring's own subordinate Ribbentrop, calling for their genocide.
