- The man in the dock puts his hands over his face and groans “Oh God” while the public prosecutor quotes his insults from the litany. "Dirty idiot, negro whore, bitch" are the nicest terms that the currently unemployed Dietramszeller (47) had given in a voice message to two friends. In another message he had threatened: "I'll break you to pieces, I'll destroy you, I'll cut a knife in your brain." Now he had to answer for insults in two cases as well as threats in court.

“That's all true,” admitted the defendant, ashamed. But he was also insulted and provoked beforehand. “Then I freaked out,” he justified the “thunderstorm of abuse,” as the judge described the verbal dropouts. He was also quite drunk. The accused protested that he was sorry the next day.

"It just doesn't work that way," the prosecutor said to the man.

Her question as to whether he had known that he shouldn't allow himself anything, he had previously meekly affirmed.

On November 26th last year, just two days before he had sent his voice messages, the Garmisch-Partenkirchen District Court sentenced him to a twelve-month suspended prison sentence for drunk driving and driving without a license.

This was his 20th entry in the Federal Central Register.

However, the previous convictions are "all not relevant," as the prosecutor emphasized in her plea. That means: The man has hardly left out anything in his criminal career, which he began at the age of 16, from theft to assault and various drunkenness offenses to serious robbery, for which he spent three years in prison. But this was the first time he was on trial for insult and threat. That saved him from a prison sentence despite ongoing probation.

The public prosecutor only applied for a fine, but emphasized: "If something happens now, it's over." Defense lawyer Burkhard Pappers asked for the "special circumstances and provocations from the other side" to be mitigated.

Judge Helmut Berger followed the prosecutor's “very moderate request” and sentenced Dietramszeller to a fine of 130 daily rates of 15 euros, a total of 1950 euros.
