i normally have a definite opinion on someones guilt or innocence in cases i follow but this case has given me mixed feelings since the very start. I am leaning more to thinking Josef B. should not be blamed for this. I agree he was involved with the hanging up of the older man because he should have gone to authorities if he knew that man was in danger. I think the person to blame for this is the father and because they cannot convict him they want justice by convicting Josef b.
I think Josef B was as much under the spell of the father as the children was. I hope all these children can heal.
