Dachau - "I need alcohol", demanded the defendant - Judge Christian Calame had not stashed it ready to hand under his negotiating table, and so the Dachau magistrate had to have the accused of theft dragged out of the meeting room after just under half an hour.
However, only when accompanied by an employee of the Condrobs addiction counseling center, who has been looking after the 33-year-old Kosovar for some time.

Because Ensar P. (name changed) is a heavy alcoholic and staggered more badly than right into the meeting room at the beginning of the negotiations. Not because he had too much alcohol, but because he had not drunk enough alcohol that morning. He had been hospitalized the day before for an overdose of alcohol, amphetamines and cannabis and then released on the day of the trial.
Ensar P. was really in a pitiful state in the dock, slumped more and more and after a very short time could not even open his eyes. "He has withdrawal symptoms," said the Condrobs employee about the defendant's state of health. After several requests from defense attorney P.'s to please close the case against her client, Judge Calame finally relented. Background: Against the 23 times convicted Kosovars are running two further proceedings, which are significantly more serious than the theft accused in Dachau.
In January of this year, Ensar P. and his buddy Kadir V. (name changed), who also had to sit down as a defendant in the meeting room, served themselves in a self-service farm shop in the Dachau district. They put eggs, honey and cheese worth almost 60 euros in their pockets, but only 2.66 euros ended up in the store's cash register, according to the public prosecutor's office. That was the coin that P. had found in his pocket. The 47-year-old Macedonian had a 50-euro note with him. According to his statement, he didn't want to throw it in because he hadn't seen a change box.
The fact that the goods cost far more than 50 euros, however, could or did not want to mathematically record the two defendants with 1.0 per thousand in blood and wine and beer bottles in their luggage. Bad luck for the two of them: the farmer had a suspicious look at her shop anyway due to increased thefts. When confronted, the men did not want to understand German. When the police officers arrived, however, they spoke “like a waterfall”, as the farmer summoned as a witness and the police officer described independently of one another.
The prosecutor demanded a suspended sentence for the Macedonian Kadir V., who had a double criminal record and was still on probation in January, and the defense attorney an acquittal, because his client did not want to run away without paying, but rather looked for someone to change money.
Judge Calame, however, saw it as proven that the 47-year-old father of two wanted to “run off towards the street” and muttered a fine of 140 daily rates of 25 euros each.
This makes the forklift driver's mountain of debt, which is already 20,000 euros, even higher.
For a while, Kadir V. consumed not only alcohol but also cocaine.
"That's where the debt comes from," suggested the chairman.
The Macedonian only moved his head slightly.
