A 51-year-old woman from Mittenwald was on trial for “mental abnormality”.
She is said to have beaten her boyfriend and insulted police officers.
Still, the rabid woman got away with a fine.
Mittenwald
- You could see the relief, even a slight smile crossed her face after the verdict was announced. The 51-year-old threatened and hit her ex-partner in Mittenwald on March 25th last year. The desperate man called the police, whereupon the drunk woman insulted the officers and offered considerable resistance. Judge Andreas Pfisterer has now sentenced her to a fine of 1200 euros (120 daily rates of 10 euros) before the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district court.
In the course of the trial, the mentally troubled defendant asked for a break.
Her legal counsel Christian Langhorst then brought his client back to the courtroom.
"In my opinion, she is not negotiable," the lawyer reported doubts, which the Mittenwald woman removed: "I'll try." And she held out until the end, even found some personal words in which she tearfully bad situation ”and her“ feeling of fear and despair ”.
A few days in the first lockdown, the dispute degenerated
Her ex-partner, with whom she lived for three years, and the police officers in court described her fatal dropout in detail. The first corona lockdown had existed in Germany for a few days when the situation between the defendant and her boyfriend at the time escalated in his Mittenwald apartment. "The dispute has degenerated again," the 65-year-old looked back on the evening. His ex-girlfriend spat on him and hit him in the face with her fist. "She attacked me for no reason," he added. The chairman wanted to know whether this had happened often. "I received blows from her on the forehead in public, including in Mittenwald," he said. “This is generally anti-social behavior,” Pfisterer wondered.
A police officer stated that the patrol had been requested because the Mittenwalder's partner "dismantled the booth". "She was very upset, loud and aggressive," said the officer. A broken glass cabinet lay in the living room. After the defendant repeatedly insulted the patrol, she indicated that she no longer wanted to live because her partner wanted to separate from her and she should leave the apartment. "It was clear: we had to arrange accommodation," said the policeman. A total of four officers tried to calm the hysterical woman - in vain. On the way to the psychiatry in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the ranting tirades continued. However: She was not charged with a physical attack. "Rather, she tried to evade the grip," said another policeman.
Police bodycam recording shows woman screaming
The Bodycam recordings provided a vivid picture: The constantly screaming woman insulted the officers permanently and saw herself in the role of victim.
“We have seen enough,” said Pfisterer when he finished the video course.
The expert, a specialist in neurology, certified that the defendant had several mental illnesses: personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, compulsive acts and alcohol abuse.
The alcohol test on the evening of the crime showed around 1.7 per thousand.
The woman has been under legal supervision for ten years and has no assets.
"She is unable to work in the long term," emphasized the appraiser, who saw the Mittenwald woman's debt reduced but not abolished.
The irony of fate: the aggrieved party has to pay most of the fine
Irony of fate: the aggrieved party will be responsible for most of the fine.
Because the ex-partner continues to support the accused financially and provides her with the car.
"That is why the penalty is not higher," Pfisterer justified his judgment.
The judge recognized the woman's “mental abnormality” and allowed her to be lenient.
Prosecutor Daniela Kasper had demanded a fine of 2100 euros (140 daily rates of 15 euros).
The 51-year-old described her situation impressively: “I don't have a permanent place of residence, I live in holiday apartments and hotels.
The street threatens me. ”At least she doesn't have to be in prison.
She had obviously expected a prison sentence and appeared to be downright released after the verdict.
With her head held high, she strode out of the courtroom.
