Process chaos in Regensburg: is the most important evidence missing?

In the courtroom in Regensburg, the tension is tangible: A 30-year-old defendant is on trial due to attempted bodily harm to a police officer. The incident occurred in January when a blockade was dissolved against a right move in the old town. A video that should document the alleged blow against the police officer's helmet is not found. This leads to a deep loss of trust in the evidence, since none of the lawyers present has seen the decisive video. "The most important evidence is missing," judges Dr. Stephan Lohmann, while he points out the possibility that the defendant may not have struck, but only fought for his own well -being in a moment of confusion, reported merkur .

The atmosphere in Itzehoe is no less tense. Judge Johann Lohmann, known for his experience in the trial of serious crimes, suddenly sees himself confronted with a request for bias. A defense lawyer claims that Lohmann may have an intimate relationship with a co -judge, which questions the perception of the independence of the court. Lohmann reacts visibly affected and tries to grasp himself while the lawyer quotes a law after the other to underpin the urgency of his request. His courageous application not only raises questions about the personal integrity of both judges, but also poses the legality of the procedure. So reports Welt .

Both legal proceedings show how decisive evidence and personal integrity are in judicial matters. While the lack of a key viewing evidence in Regensburg could significantly influence the outcome of the procedure, trust in the judges themselves is at stake in Itzehoe. At the next negotiation in Regensburg on December 19, you will have to deal with the allegations again depending on the appearance of the video, which increases the pressure on the court. In Itzehoe it is decided whether the relationship between the judges is legally invalid and how the ongoing procedures could influence.
