they said rapes in Hanover though not murders.
Just to keep the record straight about the extraordinary activities in the Braunschweig rape and sexual abuse trial and the role played by the accused's defence team in the debacle.
The court officials allowed this witness to take the stand; what on earth were they thinking about.
The video was played straight after the court read out the testimony of the Portuguese girl who claimed that Christian B had been in a playground, pulled down his trousers and masturbated while calling out to her.
However, the prosecution objected to the video being shown in court and said that they could not see the relevance of it.

The prosecution were spot on in questioning the relevance. Particularly when it added nothing to the process and actually allowed due process to be derailed for two days.

The videos and photos were shown at the request of Christian B's lawyer, Dr Friedrich Fulscher, who argued it was important to understand that the witnesses may have been egged on by such media reports to misinterpret the defendant's behaviour as a sex offence.The video was played straight after the court read out the testimony of the Portuguese girl who claimed that Christian B had been in a playground, pulled down his trousers and masturbated while calling out to her.

Its either The reporting of the Dr's assessment is a condradiction, he's alleged to have said CB is in the absolute top league of dangerousness and then says he's only likely to reoffend in the 30%-50% range which is 70%-50% he wont.

There were some rumours a while ago
“
Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Bruecker had previously made a chilling confession to a friend that led him to go to the police.
A source called Aberie, who used to be friends with Brueckner, said he confessed he had "accidently killed" his ex girlfriend Monika Pawlak.
According to The Sun, Aberie said the peadophile admitted he killed Pawlak when he was drunk.
Aberie went to the police in 2010, about the same time Pawlak was mutilated and stuffed in two bin bags.
Police investigated Brueckner at the time over her death in 2010, but he was never charged.”
'Accidentally': Maddie McCann suspect's chilling confession
He's the major suspect in the McCann case. A former friend drops a new bombshell.
In the absence of court transcripts reliance on journalistic licence can be counter productive short of a record of which witnesses have taken to the stand.
A characteristic of information emanating from the journalists is that accuracy takes a period to settle in and even then the minutiae of proceedings is seldom as fully sequential and transparent as one would like it to be.
My opinion

thats one thing I dont understand. Considering it took a couple of years to take the current trial to court they could at least have charged him for the MM case
Probably wouldn't get passed the first hurdle.
No, while they can continue to claim that CB did for MM without actually having to try and prove it, they are content to do so, particularly if they can get him locked away for something else in perpetuity .

One presumes BKA investigated the information received but found no evidence to back it up.
Just as CB also featured in another high profile investigation in 2016, which proceeded no further.

According to German newspaper Magdeburg Volksstimme, police searched the Neuwegersleben property in 2016, but the line of inquiry was not pursued further.
The newspaper said the suspect had a parking accident at a motorway service station in Helmstedt, 55 miles from where Inga lived, on the day before she disappeared.

One wonders how often he was investigated in like fashion over the years. But the norm is that -- "No Evidence" = "No Indictment"
The five cases investigated and brought to court obviously met the required criteria in 2022 (only the alleged quality of the witnesses being blamed for the withdrawal of charges in 2024).
Also passing muster was the indictment featuring the rape of DM and the betraying body hair confirming the information received which instigated today's proceedings.
Funny old world though when the BKA is
- derided when there is no supporting evidence justifying further action
- roundly criticised for pursuing leads which provide sufficient evidence to raise charges to bring a suspect to trial.
The MM case was still under very active investigation until 2023 and still is

Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are to carry out searches at a reservoir in Portugal.

Police will start combing the area, which is 50km from where the toddler went missing in 2007.

There was sufficient evidence available in 2022 to allow charges to be laid against CB for serious sexual crimes which were totally unrelated to the MM case except for the fact police found them as a result of separate investigation of crimes against MM.
