Many open questions in the murder process against doctor
Published on April 4, 2025
However, the chamber granted a legal indication that instead of a conviction for murder, a conviction for attempted murder could also be considered in the event of dangerous bodily harm - for example, if it was not undoubtedly proof that the morphine administration was caused by the death.
A doctor accused of murder must remain in custody - his defense lawyer had submitted an application to release on Monday.The chamber has not yet decided on this.While the defender, after the presentation of several reports, had no longer an urgent suspicion of a deliberate homicide against his client, the presiding judge continued to rule out a conviction on Monday.
A conviction due to attempted murder could lead to punishment for punishment, but would still be considerable - insofar as there was no detention at the moment.Ultimately, however, an acquittal is still possible, as a court spokeswoman explained.
The public prosecutor accuses the doctor of having given a overdose of morphine to a 79 -year -old patient in July 2022 in order to "specifically shorten his lives according to his own well -being".The doctor rejects the allegation.
His defense criticized the investigation as inadequate.For example, the manuscripts with which the lower and higher drug dose are noted on the patient papers are obviously different.Scripture to the lower dose is his, the doctor said.A written report confirmed this and the defender filed a complaint against a caregiver.The procedure is to be continued on Monday.
