court judgment and other legal steps

As part of the process, the blow with the iron rod on the head was considered an attempted murder. However, cutting the throat was classified as a homicide. Martin Pohlmann, who represents the victim's parents, has appealed and argues that the entire event should be seen as a murder. In the event of a conviction for murder, up to 15 years in prison could also be imposed under juvenile law.

The hearing of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) is scheduled for October 8th. The Federal Attorney General supports the view that it could be a murder. Beate and Bernhard M., the victim's parents, are relieved about the upcoming negotiation. The condemned, Jerrit Schöll's lawyer, on the other hand, sees the attack as an attempted manslaughter.

The motif for crime is still unknown. In the process, evidence was made that Leon M. could have had better chances in girls. However, the judges were unable to establish any connection between these information and the excess of violence. It is noteworthy that Marc E. and Leon M. had known himself since kindergarten and had spent a lot of time together, such as Notice.
