25-year-old from Kassel burst into tears after the judge clapped his hands loudly to wake her up. The woman had dozed off twice while the charges were being read out.

She was brought before the court by the police because she had failed to appear at an earlier court date. She is accused of grievous bodily harm, property damage and unauthorized removal from the scene of the accident. In October it will then be discussed why the defendant got into an argument with a neighbor in September 2022 and then threw a hammer at the man. She assured the judge that her fatigue was not due to alcohol consumption. “I don’t drink that much anymore. Only on weekends,” she told the judge. The next hearing will take place in October, at 10:15 a.m. If she doesn't show up, he will have the police pick her up at home, the judge announced. Then all five witnesses have to appear again and an interpreter who is supposed to translate for one witness.
