Markus Haintz wrote that the district court issued a penalty order against a woman he politically criticized sharply. The public prosecutor's office in Göttingen had resumed the previously discontinued proceedings due to alleged expiration based on his legal argumentation. According to Haintz, the public prosecutor's office had assumed expiration after a formal insult against an opposition member in favor of the alleged perpetrator, even though the relevant post was still online. Therefore, no expiration had occurred. He added that the highly specialized public prosecutor's office would not have come to this conclusion without his hint, as the circumstances did not fit their political worldview. #Rechtsstaat #Justiz #Politik (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported that a 21-year-old Afghan man had created a disturbance in his apartment in Hamburg-Harburg last night. The police observed noticeable behavior there but did not see any danger to himself or others and left again. Around 4:50 a.m., the man followed a 58-year-old resident of the same building as she was leaving for work. He struck, kicked, and strangled her until she lost consciousness. After he fled, the woman regained consciousness. Bystanders called the police because they had seen the man, who, according to Kussmann, was allegedly in a state of psychological emergency. The police took the 21-year-old into custody and brought him to a psychiatric clinic. The woman was taken to the hospital. According to Kussmann, the public prosecutor's office was investigating for attempted homicide and had applied for a commitment order. They apparently assume that the man intended to kill the woman while in a state of insanity or diminished capacity. A detention judge was expected to decide on the application the same day. #Hamburg #Gewalt #PsychischeGesundheit (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that ten years ago in Hamburg, the then 16-year-old Victor was killed. An unknown assailant attacked him from behind with a knife at the shore of the Alster and seriously injured him multiple times; the perpetrator pushed Victor's girlfriend into the Alster. Victor later died in the hospital. The perpetrator has not been found to this day. The case became known as the Alster murder. Two weeks after the crime, the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the murder. However, the German authorities did not classify it as an Islamist attack, Kussmann wrote. She also recalled the murders of Samuel Paty six years ago and Maria Ladenburger ten years ago. Kussmann again shared a post that Victor's mother published a year ago. At that time, she inquired with the public prosecutor's office and learned that the investigations were ongoing, but there was no new status update. According to the public prosecutor's office, the composite image was not created based on information from Victor's girlfriend, but due to the observation of a third person who had seen a suspicious individual near the crime scene. Due to fewer individual characteristics, the public prosecutor's office considers the image to be "limitedly relevant." #GerechtigkeitFürVictor #AlsterMord #Erinnerung (translated)

The user Gr@ntlɘr asked who is suing against the CDU in Saxony-Anhalt. He referred to former SPD minister Mathias Brodkorb, who according to him stated that § 106 of the Criminal Code threatens the coercion of members of parliament to refrain from exercising their mandate with up to five years of imprisonment. Whether a specific resolution is punishable must be decided by the public prosecutor's office. Gr@ntlɘr criticized the claim to prevent members of parliament from voting for their protection as an interference with the free mandate. According to him, anyone who does not trust their own faction at the ballot box should question their own political line, not the constitution. Whether a procedure is initiated also depends on whether someone formally asserts the initial suspicion; anyone is capable of doing so, he wrote. #CDU #SachsenAnhalt #freiesMandat (translated)
