Would winning an appeal not undermine the credibility of the court and the judges and require a re-trial ?
If it was their strong case, why waste time on these 'lesser' charges? I see over confidence and under preparation here, the prosecution assuming this trial would be, if not a walk in the park, at least deliver them some further jail time breathing space. They can appeal of course but what can they possibly have in appeal terms that they failed to use in the trial? The idea that they still have critical cards to play seems unlikely, to say the least.
It's a grim and highly embarrassing result and it's entirely down to the prosecution's failure to put together a decent, credible case against CB.
No.
I am not sure if what they are discussing is the equivalent of an interlocutory appeal, only about the arrest warrant, or an appeal of the impending acquittal.
MOO
Is the court in session today
The profiler evidence as been rejected by the court because of bias.there is more but It's paywalled.As I understand there is a witness who hasn't been heard yet. A profiler who will give evidence on the similarities of the rape of DM and HB. Whether this will make a difference remains to be seen.
JWould the time for deciding that appeal not have been followed through pre trial and at the time when charges were laid in 2022.
On the other hand you may be correct in that it is circumvention of a future appeal.
The judge may be applying belt an braces.
I've looked at the rest of the article. There were three profiles the chief ons being Harald Dearn. It seems he will be able to give evidence but can only base his opinion on the witness statement of HBThe profiler evidence as been rejected by the court because of bias.there is more but It's paywalled.
BKA chief profiler Harald Dern had once set up quality standards for case analysis itself, which the Chamber considered to be violated in the Christian B. case. Dern may have to explain how this could have happened in the process. In any case, he may no longer refer to the individual case analyzes and relate the findings of his three colleagues for his upcoming lecture on the comparative case analysis of the deeds at the expense of Diana M. and Hazel B. His expert lecture should only be based on his impression from the questioning of Hazel B.
Maddie-Verdächtiger Christian B. - BKA-Profiler sind befangen
Diese Entscheidung des Landgerichts Braunschweig macht es für die Anklage schwer, eine Vergewaltigung nachzuweisen. Der Prozess wird Freitag fortgesetzt. Wie reagiert Christian B. auf die Aufhebung seines Haftbefehls?www.braunschweiger-zeitung.de
Me too! Not surprising though, given that is her function. But it doesn't make her infallible which is why there are inbuilt safeguards to the process else who eases the bias against those who have suffered sexual assault.I'm glad to see the judge insisting that the rules of law are followed in her court.
I wonder why the Braunschweig court thinks the evidence against CB regarding this crime has no merit
I would expect a judge to have doubts about everything so as to get to the truth of the matter.I also fail to see why a judge would have doubt on this one case. Very disheartening if the families who were there that day are just expected to accept this from this suspect, IMO.
You would think that was a given to be honestI'm glad to see the judge insisting that the rules of law are followed in her court.

Then it would seem reasonable to me to accept that the judge knows more about the case than us lay observers.I mean reasonable doubt after the evidence was presented. Of course, I didn't see the trial or hear the evidence being presented there. My opinion is from what's been reported.
That's the thing the court is hearing all the evidence we are relying on press reports mostly from the German papers and relying on translations, one thing to determine imo is that the evidence doesn't satisfy a threshold to hold CB under arrest for the chargesI mean reasonable doubt after the evidence was presented.

I think another issue is many have read the many many articles in Olive Press which likely were not all true. I know that I have been questioning a lot recently.That's the thing the court is hearing all the evidence we are relying on press reports mostly from the German papers and relying on translations, one thing to determine imo is that the evidence doesn't satisfy a threshold to hold CB under arrest for the charges
Any prior reporting especially from the brit press is to be held in the contempt it deserves imo.
Was any of it true?I think another issue is many have read the many many articles in Olive Press which likely were not all true. I know that I have been questioning a lot recently.
Probably not ;(Was any of it true?
