Bizarre trial at the regional court in Feldkirch: a lowlander had attacked his father because he did not want to give him 7.50 euros.
The suspect is a real problem child. Not just for the family. Also for the judiciary. He already has fifteen entries on his criminal record. A large portion of the convictions are related to property crimes and bodily harm, so he already knows the prison quite well from the inside.
Yesterday, fresh out of jail, the unemployed person was led to the interrogation room of the Feldkirch Regional Court. This time, the 33-year-old, who is quite fond of alcohol, gets to the point because of several crimes. The charges are aggravated theft, robbery, bodily harm, dangerous threats, coercion and violation of the gun law.
Wild fight with parents
In November last year, the unemployed man and his parents got into a fight about 7.50 euros, which they did not want to give their son. Whereupon the 33-year-old panics and pulls a rolling pin over his dead father’s skull. When the mother intervenes, the brush guns her face with pepper spray. In his fit of rage, he finally pulls out a kitchen knife from the drawer and threatens to cut his parents open with it. A bad
A very nice family
Initially, the suspect refused to answer the judge’s questions. Only when the judge in the jury trial makes it clear to him that he faces a higher sentence if convicted and only a contrite confession would be a mitigating ground, does he come out with the language. “I plead guilty to the rolling pin case, the pepper spray attack on my mother and the gun ban violation. I’m silent about the rest.”
His mother, who has been called as a witness, does the same because she does not want to be a burden to her son. This is also the case with the brother who claims to have been misinterpreted by an officer in his statement to the police. Meanwhile, another brother is already on the fly before he can even be questioned as a witness. The reason: the waiting time at the court was too long for him. The end of the story: the suspect is found guilty and goes back to where he came from – back to jail for a year.
