Wiesenfeld murder trial: defence presents closing argument
The Würzburg Regional Court will continue closing arguments in the so-called Wiesenfeld trial on Monday. Following the public prosecutor, who demanded six and a half years' imprisonment the previous week, the defence will now present its closing argument. According to radiogong.com, it is expected that they will plead for acquittal.
The 49-year-old is charged with murder. The alleged crime dates back more than 30 years: in 1993, he is said to have abused and killed a 13-year-old girl at a riding stable in Wiesenfeld. The defendant did not comment on the allegations during the trial.
Since the crime is older than 30 years, the man can be convicted of murder; all other criminal charges are subject to the statute of limitations. The defendant was already sentenced to youth imprisonment in 2024. Following appeals by the public prosecutor and the defence, the trial was completely reopened.
