Jealousy and violence: Fuldaer sentenced to fight in the Jerusalemplatz

In a explosive court proceedings in Fulda, a 38-year-old was convicted of his participation in a brutal fight, which took place in February last year. The man who already served a strict prison for manslaughter apparently hadn't had enough. At the Jerusalemplatz he stepped towards two accomplices to brutally attack a 51-year-old.

The events of February 17, 2023 exposed the dark side of human relationships when the accused apparently acted out of jealousy. The judge Ulrich Jahn described the crime as "sneaky" and stated that the victim had previously presented a small gift voucher from his girlfriend, which provoked the defendant so much that he took force. In court, it came to light that the defendant's jealousy was the decisive trigger for this dangerous bodily harm.

victim suffers from serious injuries

The goal of this insidious attack was a 51-year-old man who came to the park in good faith to spend a relaxing day with friends. Instead, he was attacked without warning, which led to painful injuries, including rib breaks and serious bruises in the facial area. The judge summed it up: "It could no longer be done more", and it was cleared by how the attack was ruin.

accused. During the procedure, the two defendants partially made confessions. The 38-year-old announced during the procedure that his motifs also resulted from an idea that the 51-year-old had inappropriately touched his daughter. However, this declaration was not believed by the court. Instead, it was recognized that his urge to aggregate resulted from a personal conflict that only led to the disadvantage of the victim.

judgment and consequences for the perpetrators

The Fulda District Court spoke the judgment on August 27, 2024. The main perpetrator, the 38-year-old, received a prison sentence of two and a half years, while a probation penalty of one year was imposed against his accomplices. In contrast, the assessment of the 38-year-old's defense lawyer, who only called for a punishment of one year and four months, was not successful. Even the statement of the elderly that he would not repeat such acts did not seem to convince the judges.

The court essentially followed the plea of the public prosecutor, who described the accused as a rafiness and trunk and pointed out the seriousness of the victim's injuries. While the defendant showed serious remorse, the younger man expressed a feeling of justification for his deed. "He got what he deserves. I don't regret anything," were his final words that remind society of the chains of a misunderstood jealousy.
