It is a process that has "something historical", even admitted the lawyer of Jennifer W., wife of ISIS who returned to Germany from Iraq and sentenced by the Munich Court of Appeal to 10 years in prison for crimes against the humanity.
Six years ago the defendant did nothing, according to the convict, to save a 5-year-old girl from the Yazidi minority, chained in the sun in broad daylight and left to die of thirst by her ex-husband, at the bar in another trial. in Frankfurt. The magistrates are convinced that Jennifer W. also threatened her mother, who was exploited as a slave by the couple, to kill her by shooting her if she did not stop crying her baby. Yet with this past behind her, the woman was shocked by the sentence and immediately looked for her lawyer in search of comfort, before putting her head in her hands.
The woman was found guilty of belonging to a terrorist association abroad, collaborating in attempted murder, attempted war crimes and enslavement resulting in death. And considering that he risked up to life imprisonment, the sentence was even a "success" for his defender. He was 30 at the time. And today in the courtroom, in the back rows, there was also the child's mother, who appeared as a civil party. The accused "should have imagined that under the sun the child would have risked dying" but did nothing to help her even though "he could", spelled judge Joachim Baier.
The trial, which began in April 2019, caused a certain uproar, also for the role of Amal Clooney who represented the mother of the child, even without ever appearing in the courtroom.
