Our court reporter Rudi Stallein has put together the best quotes and strangest dialogues from 2020.
"If anyone knows me, then you know me."

You know that, Herr Richter.
If anyone knows me, then you know me. ”Says the defendant, who was caught with drugs and weapons in his backpack and has already been convicted 16 times.

Maybe I said asshole. ”Defendant corrects the saying that brought him to trial for insult.

How about the truth
“What's that with the wrong name?” The judge wants to know why a landscape gardener works with a wrong company name on an order confirmation.

Thereupon the judge dryly: “Perhaps the truth?” There is no answer.

The exhibitionist and the judge
A man must answer in court for exhibitionist acts.
He is said to have masturbated in front of a woman on the Isar.
He's embarrassed about this.
He wants her to be done away with quickly.
That is why he informed the court in writing before the trial that he “would like to admit the matter and deeply regret my outrage”.
Thus, the judge no longer saw the need to summon witnesses, especially the harassed woman, to the trial.
But things develop differently in court.
Defendant: “I did not do what I am accused of.
I urinated.
That was indecent.
But I didn't masturbate. "Richter:" Then we will negotiate next week - with the witnesses. "Defendant:" Then I'll just admit what the woman says. "Richter:" But a criminal trial is based on rules.
I have to check whether the woman is credible. ”Defendant:“ Then I'll go that far again: I'll admit it. ”Judge:“ We don't do things like that, not with me. ”Defendant:“ Good, then I'll admit the crime . "Judge:" It doesn't work that way. "Defendant:" Oh please, let's make our judgment now.
Now I'll admit it. "
The judge does not allow himself to be softened and sets another trial date to which the witness should also be summoned.
The defendant swears: “And then it’s really bold in the newspaper.
Is that what you want? "

“Of course they're engaged.
What planet do you live on, Ms. Public Prosecutor? ”A witness wonders about the worldview of the prosecutor, who doubts the defendant's engagement with the injured party.
As evidence, the witness affirmed: “You told me that you are engaged.
So I asked: Are you crazy? "
***
“I said: If you stress me out, I stress you too.
Then he said: Then you'll get even more stress.
I gave him a slap in the face.
He hit back right away. ”A defendant who had quarreled with a roommate sums up the facts from his point of view in a nutshell.
The trigger was a pair of shoes that (according to the injured party) stood grumbling in front of the door in the hallway.

You are very close to it. ”Says the judge to the defendant, who despite a long criminal record and two open, relevant probations has committed a criminal offense again.

As if he didn't care.
When should we say: Now he's got it. "

I think he's trying to lead a righteous life. ”A defense attorney pleads for a mild sentence for his client, who has already brought eleven previous convictions including several long prison terms and two open parole to the trial.

“Not with all of them,” she adds in the same breath.
“At the last trial I had two guys, I yelled at them, but nothing got there.
And with you I only need to wave and the tears will flow. "
