If I remember rightly, some decisions for some of the motions are due in October. I may be wrong - does anybody know if this is the case?

The original end was June, can't recall seeing any thing suggestive of when trial verdicts would be given certainly not on any press release, happy to be corrected.

It has been suggested on this forum that the MO of DM and HaB was the same due to the filming aspect of the crime - that this is unusual.
Today on the BBC are two stories of horrific sex offenders committing and filming crimes. One is in France, the other Australia and Italy.

To be fair though, it wasn't just the filming that led the comparisons. Whether or not it was CB, the ritual aspects of the attacks in the DM, HaB and the unknown elderly victim are imo compelling.

The differences are equally compelling IMO.

There's a argument it's not CB with the lifting of the arrest warrant because there is no urgent suspicion.Starts again tomorrow doesnt it, interesting to hear who witnesses might be.
I really don't know the significance of the lifting of the arrest warrant but it certainly upset the prosecution to the extent that they made claims against the impartiality of the judges, so it cannot just be a legal technicality.

Well yes considering he still remains in jail, just what the concerns are, is it the verdict won't be announced any time soon after the trial completion? No doubt CB is a dangerous character but he can't be kept in jail just because of that, maybe they don't monitor after release.
As far as I can make out it is not "just be a legal technicality". Under normal circumstances the successful defence argument for the lifting of the arrest warrant would have enabled CB the freedom to walk the streets between trial dates as the innocent man the law deems him to be.
Only the fact that he is still serving time for aggravated rape standing in his way; notwithstanding the fact that CB was declared too dangerous for parole due in halfway through his sentence.
A decision ratified on appeal by the European Court.

The 45-year-old paedophile is currently serving a seven-year jail term for raping a pensioner in Praia da Luz, ...
He became eligible for parole after serving half of his sentence, with time spent on remand taken into account.
But the panel were thought to judge him at high risk of reoffending.
They concluded his “social prognosis” meant he had to stay behind bars in the northern German city of Kiel.

CB is a flight risk as can be seen from his extraditions from Portugal and Italy under European Arrest Warrants.
He is also a serial offender and career criminal who is accused of being a domestic violence perpetrator.

While in Braunschweig, CB ran a kiosk selling drinks and snacks. He was accused of assaulting the woman he lived with, NF, who was not the mother of his victim.
During a raid on his flat, police seized a laptop and other devices on which they found the photographs.
Analysis of the images allowed the officers to identify the scene of the attack and the girl, who had moved to another part of Germany with her mother.
By then, however, CB had fled to the Algarve in Portugal, where he had been living intermittently since the mid-1990s.
German authorities issued an EU-wide arrest warrant, but it was four years before officers in Portugal seized him after responding to reports that he had exposed himself to children at a park about 40 miles from Praia da Luz.
CB, who is referred to as ‘Christian B’ by German justice officials, was extradited back to Germany, convicted and given a 15-month jail term in March 2017.
Christian Brueckner was jailed for abusing ex-girlfriend's daughter
The prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann was jailed for sexually abusing the five-year-old daughter of a former girlfriend, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
How flawed might the decision be to lift arrest warrants on the reasoning that the evidence is not quite good enough to meet the defence team's opinion when much of the evidence has not yet been heard?
Most decidedly odd; but here we are.
Trial against Christian B. continues normally
Christian B., however, will not be released immediately. He remains in prison because of a 2019 conviction for the rape of a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal in 2005. "Of course, he remains in custody, only in this current trial has the arrest warrant been lifted," explained court spokeswoman Lisa Rust. "The proceedings are still ongoing, the next hearing on Friday will take place as usual and continue normally."The defense of the sex offender, who has several previous convictions, had requested that the arrest warrant against Christian B. be lifted in the current proceedings. According to the course of the evidence so far, the arrest warrant could no longer stand, defense attorney Friedrich Fülscher had said as a reason. The chamber lifted the arrest warrant because, from its point of view, there was no urgent suspicion of a crime, the court announced.
Haftbefehl gegen Christian B. aufgehoben
Im Bezug auf die Vorwürfe gegen den 47-jährigen Deutschen zu fünf anderen schweren Straftaten gegen die sexuelle Selbstbestimmung bestehe kein dringender Tatverdacht, teilte das Landgericht Braunschweig mit.

IMO a argument needs to from a German perspective ie once freed from his present sentence is he monitored ? not the British msm sensationalism.CB is a flight risk as can be seen from his extraditions from Portugal and Italy under European Arrest Warrants.
He is also a serial offender and career criminal who is accused of being a domestic violence perpetrator.
