The verdict against a man who pushed a wheelchair user on subway tracks in Frankfurt has been partially overturned. The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Karlsruhe referred the case back to the regional court, as can be seen from a decision published on Wednesday. In November last year, the defendant was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment with subsequent preventive detention for attempted manslaughter and dangerous bodily harm.
Karlsruhe / Frankfurt - The defendant with German nationality had admitted to having pushed the wheelchair user, who was paralyzed on one side, onto the tracks in January 2020 in a dispute over a bottle of schnapps.
An arriving train had been able to brake in time.
It was controversial in the process whether the accused had an intention to kill.
The defense denied this and took action against the verdict.

After violence broke out: man sentenced to suspended sentence
The BGH confirmed the regional court's guilty verdict, but overturned the sentencing due to valuation errors.
Among other things, the verdict did not sufficiently take into account the fact that the defendant was already 69 years old at the time of the verdict and would not be released until old age - especially since the man was on probation: he had one for the murder of his fiancée in 2001 Served life imprisonment, which was suspended about six months before the act in Frankfurt.
The district court did not respond to the threatened revocation of this decision, complained the BGH.
