Evidence seems overwhelming to me!
A number of us are following the Morphew no body trial where the evidence is much less
Quite. This is what I find so interesting about the veracity of this case. I've read a bit about the Morphew trial and as you say, the evidence is nowhere near as condemning. Plus there are much more credible objections from the defence about the supposed evidence (and the potential ignorance of other evidence that may support other outcomes).
Obviously the Morphew case is happening in the US and personally I think the evidence threshold in the States for proceeding with such a charge is not as high as that in Germany. "No body" murder charges in Germany are quite rare, and the conviction rate for murder cases brought to trial in Germany is much higher than in the US.
Why I think this case is significant is it shows the power of circumstantial evidence. Plus it gives an indication of how the German Prosecutors build a case and seek to avoid obvious defence arguments. For HCW to publicly accuse CB, I can't help but think the circumstantial evidence and the puzzle pieces are rather compelling. If only he'd tell us what it entails exactly....
I do also think the delays in this case might be a contributory factor to the silence and timelines of the CB case. Not that this case is any sort of 'trial run' for what to expect in any CB indictment, but they will certainly learn from it. If and when charges against CB are announced though, there will be a media storm to deal with. Not something you want while you still have this case to put to bed which deserves an equal amount of attention.
