A 38-year-old Tölzer had to answer in court for dangerous bodily harm, attempted coercion, threats and property damage.

Bad Tölz/Wolfratshausen - The prognosis is clear: "If he doesn't work on himself, he will have to go to prison for a long time," judge Helmut Berger predicted to Tölzer (38), whom he had just sentenced to one year in prison.

It's only been a good six months since the judge and the accused last sat across from each other when the man left the courtroom, fuming after being sentenced to eight months in prison.

On the other hand, the man appealed.

Should the final verdict become final, there is a risk of further months in jail

If this judgment becomes final, he faces an additional nine months in prison, which the Miesbach District Court initially suspended on probation in 2020.

But the 38-year-old, who now has to answer for dangerous bodily harm, attempted coercion, threats and property damage, doesn't know what to do with such concessions.

Since his last conviction in mid-June 2021, less than 14 days had passed before he committed another offense.

The accused is said to have thrown the lamp at his girlfriend

On June 27, 2021 at around 11:45 p.m., it was once again his girlfriend at the time who was exposed to his aggression.

According to the indictment, the accused is said to have thrown a lamp at the woman during the argument and injured her wrist.

He is said to have previously threatened: "If you put me in jail, I'll kill your family and beat you in a wheelchair."

Linden wood figure of Our Lady thrown at landlady

On August 15, the man freaked out again.

Because his pension room, which he was allowed to occupy during the pandemic, had been canceled for seasonal reasons, he "exploded", as he says himself: with a punch he smashed the plexiglass pane at the reception desk, insulted the owner, threw a 60 centimeter Figure made of linden wood and several planted flower pots after her.

"I couldn't sleep for days afterwards," reported the victim in her statement, still visibly upset.

The memory still brought tears to her eyes six months later.

Nevertheless, she declared that she had no interest in her former guest being punished.

"He needs help," the witness said.

Cocktail of drugs and alcohol is said to have contributed to the tantrum

The defendant asserted that he had come to this conclusion himself.

At least in the case of the Assumption Day incident, a devastating cocktail of drugs and alcohol must have contributed significantly to the tantrum.

"I screwed it up myself because I can't control my emotions.

But I learned from it,” said the Tölzer.

That's why he's now aiming for detoxification and inpatient therapy.

"I realized that I have a massive problem."

By confessing, the girlfriend is spared a charge

Judge Helmut Berger credited the defendant with the fact that his confession had spared his former girlfriend a testimony.

His sentence of one year without parole fell well short of the prosecutor's request for one year and nine months.

"Of course he has to be helped," said Berger, who sees the "sword of Damocles" of imprisonment as support for the accused.

He now has time to try for an inpatient therapy place before the appeal hearing at the district court in Munich, and thus preserve the chance of probation.
