For the 20-year-old Peißenberger, the court decision must have been a shock. He should be imprisoned immediately for escape. Then he took flight spectacularly.
- In Bavaria, a young man has been tried for numerous crimes.
- The verdict shocked the charges very much.
- He took flight spectacularly in the hall.
Weilheim - Several cases of physical injury , property damage , theft , handling explosive substances and a lot more - because of a whole list of offenses , a previous criminal Peißenberger had to answer on Wednesday at the district court in Weilheim . The lay judge finally sentenced the 20-year-old to two years and two months in prison , without parole . "Usually, the accused do not come directly into custody despite such a verdict, because it is first awaited that the judgment will become final before the subpoena is sent," said Christiane Serini, vice-head of the Weilheim district court. Finally, the convicted can still appeal.
In Weilheim (Bavaria): judge saw danger of escape
But it was different in the case of the Peißenberger . Because according to Serini, the living situation of the 20-year-old had changed, he no longer had a permanent residence - a classic case of risk of escape . "That's why my judge colleague opened the warrant to him right after the verdict was pronounced," said Serini. An unusual case in Weilheim , because you are not a prison court - according to Serini, such cases are usually heard at the Munich district court. "In this rare case it was different because the accused came as a free man and it only became clear during the trial that there was a reason for detention."
The accused does not expect a verdict in Bavaria: Then there is a spectacular escape
Apparently the Peißenberger hadn't expected that either. But he reacted quickly: As soon as around 2.10 p.m. the judge announced that he should be arrested straight from the courtroom , he opened the nearby window and jumped outside. "It is certainly three meters down, it is more difficult to injure yourself," said Serini. The presiding judge , who was as puzzled as the lawyers present, could only press the alarm button and send the security officers into the yard. But then the 20-year-old was up and away.
After a dramatic escape in Bavaria: police searched with three patrols
The police were already on the move - the judge had informed the officials before the verdict was pronounced that they had to take a convict to Stadelheim . "A total of three police patrols have searched and searched in the surrounding area, but also at his previous home in Peißenberg," said Bernd Schewe from the Weilheim police inspection. The policemen found what they were looking for in Polling, at which point he was on a bicycle. He stated that he had found and used the bike, a blue-gray men's trekking bike of the "Kalkhof" brand, leaning unlocked against a bench at the bus stop near the maypole. It could not be checked whether the man's information about the place of discovery was correct. He could also have taken the bike with him in Weilheim . The bike was secured. The owner of the bike is asked to report to the Weilheim police inspection .
Bavarian court draws consequences after attempting to escape: From now on, windows will remain blocked
The Peißenberger was first brought to the Weilheim district court and then to the Stadelheim correctional facility. At the district court, the incident has consequences, of course, according to Serini ("This has never happened before"). “It used to happen that a suspect was brought out of custody for another trial, and of course it was made sure that the window was closed. But that was clearly an omission on our part, now it will be blocked at every negotiation. ”
The cases of insulting an ice hockey game and a violent father were also tried at the Weilheim district court.
