Activism against miscarriages of justice

, and began to involve himself in investigating and attempting to right miscarriages of justice. He traveled widely and wrote analyses on false recognition, intimidation by prison inmates, uncritical acceptance of expert testimony, suggestibility and emotionalism in jurors and psychological errors by judges. His book ''Summa Iniuria'', which treats hundreds of cases, is one of the most thorough German-language works in the field. He concerned himself particularly with the case of Pierre Jaccoud, whom he was convinced had been wrongly convicted of murdering Charles Zumbach based on faulty forensic work. At one point Pierre Hegg, the head of the police criminological laboratory, sued him for defamation. His efforts on behalf of Jaccoud made him a prominent and effective opponent of courtroom injustice, and he went so far as to assemble the funds to hire Horace Mastronardi and other lawyers to appeal Jaccoud's conviction. Despite his efforts, the case was never reopened. The criminal law expert

He first achieved acclaim with his non–fictional books from ''Psychologie und Weltanschauung'' (1944) to ''Schiller als Arzt'' (1955) and cemented his place in local history as one of the greatest Swiss pamphletists with the publication of '' Summa Iniuria: Ein Pitaval der Justizirrtümer'' shortly before his death.
