Very few people would have known what they were getting into. This isn't a film where people woke up with evil intent but they still ended up doing evil things.

The Times has better reporting of this including the part where he did occasional guard duty on those that arrived and the Judge's statement:

He is culpable of taking the money from the prisoners and performing guard duty, he is not and cannot be held accountable for their deaths.
