Even if the insanity plea is overturned, the max it looks like he will serve is only 15 years. :behindbar WTF is wrong with the government over there? Someone like this should NEVER see the light of day again. His daughter was temp. blinded when she saw daylight for the first time in 24 years. He deserves worse that was he did to her. :furious:
European Union laws, if you really want to know.
Uggg, I know nothing of that. How frustrating that must be for their citizens. :behindbar
Honestly they need to put him in the same spot his daughter has been for the past 24 years.....let him spend the rest of his life as she has lived for so long....I think thats a fair punishment...Insane or not....it would be justice!!
Fritzl's lawyer, Rudolf Mayer, said: "In my personal opinion, Josef Fritzl is mentally ill and therefore not responsible for his actions."
This is such crap. Obviously he is mentally ill. You would have to have serious mental problems to do this to other human beings. But mental illness should not negate responsibility. And the admission that has such mental problems should mean that he automatically gets locked up for life, not the piddly 15 years they're talking about now.
E X A C T L Y!!Oh, I agree with you! He obviously knew that this was WRONG and went to great pains to HIDE what he was doing.
I haven't been following this case closely but have read a couple of articles. Have they looked at the other children/grandchildren for abuse? Esp. the 18 year old girl?
Does anyone know what ages the upstairs children were when they were brought upstairs?
Does anyone know what the reasoning was for leaving some children downstairs and taking some upstairs?
