From that report it seems uncertain whether or not the witness will be allowed to testifyFrom today
„
Braunschweig (dpa) - In the rape trial against the suspect also in the Maddie case, a former fellow prisoner is to be heard as a witness by Christian B. The Criminal Chamber will probably comply with a corresponding request from the public prosecutor's office, announced the presiding judge in the Braunschweig Regional Court. The prosecutors had requested the interrogation of the man the day before because the defendant in prison is said to have talked to him about several rapes in Portugal.
According to the court's previous planning, the man could be heard by the criminal chamber at the end of September and thus become one of the last witnesses in the proceedings, which is in the home straight. The previously known program for the trial against the 47-year-old German is coming to an end, the taking of evidence could be closed in the coming weeks. With regard to the possible witness, the question of his credibility should be in the center. The probative value of narratives behind bars is also likely to be questioned above all by the defense.
The sex offender, who has been convicted several times, is accused of three rapes and two cases of sexual abuse of children, which he is said to have committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. However, the trial is rather attentive because the accused is also suspected of murder in the case of three-year-old Madeleine "Maddie" McCann, who disappeared from a Portuguese holiday resort in 2007. The Maddie case is not the subject of the current proceedings. The presumption of innocence applies.
As one of the final points for the proceedings, a psychiatric expert began his report on Friday. The witness first generally gave general terms such as pedophilia, sadism and masochism. He has not yet established any connection with the accused. He is currently still in prison for the rape of a 72-year-old US-American woman in Portugal in 2005. The prison sentence for this he had served in the spring of 2025.“
Mithäftling soll im Prozess gegen Christian B. aussagen
Was wurde in der Zelle besprochen? Im Prozess gegen den auch im Fall Maddie Verdächtigen wegen fünf anderer Straftaten soll ein früherer Mithäftling vernommen werden. Was kann so ein Zeuge beitragen?
- it suggests that he will only be allowed to testify if the credibility of his testimony passes the smell test, the primary one being, when and to whom did he make his official statements regarding these alleged conversations.
It's like he's just come out the woodwork, why wasn't he called before, did he make statements before the publicity concerning the trial? If so why wait til now, did he need coaxing, one must think the defence have no knowledge unless his evidence was previously shared under discovery.
It's just a variation of what's been reported.
If it's the Coup de Grace why wait til now, they wouldn't have needed to go down the bias judge route either.But like you say we'll have to wait.
Even if so, it is sometimes beneficial for us to be reminded every so often of exactly how bestial CB's crimes are as well as the lasting effects they have on the survivors.

@Niner , Dr. Christian Riedemann a forensic psychiatrist , gave evidence today and is to continue on the next date 25th Sept, also the court have granted the wish of the prosecution to hear the ex con.
A brief summary, CB refused to see the doc, he could only go by case files, because of his heterosexual relationships he would not describe CB with a sexual sadism disorder nor a core paedophile.
Maddie-Verdächtiger: Ist Christian B. ein gefährlicher Sadist?
32. Prozesstag: Der psychiatrische Sachverständige beginnt Erstattung seines Gutachten. Davon könnte abhängen, ob das Gericht im Fall einer Verurteilung von Christian B. die Sicherungsverwahrung für ihn anordnen würde.
If CB has refused to speak to him directly it is bound to present some difficulty in enabling an assessment.
There is just so much information which must be missing from the files. His lifestyle meant it was very difficult to keep tabs on him.
