Now it’s solved! The father (39) of little Leon, who drowned in the Kitzbüheler Ache in St. Johann in Tirol in August 2022, must answer before the Innsbruck Regional Court for the crime of murder and falsification of an act that is punishable. There is no objection to the murder charge.
However, defense lawyers strongly believe that the prosecution did not fully take into account several pieces of evidence or rather assessed them unilaterally to the detriment of the suspect.
“In the course of the proceedings, which will certainly be conducted objectively and fairly, the independent jury, with the involvement of the panel of professional judges, will come to the conclusion from the perspective of the defense that the suspect should be acquitted,” the lawyers emphasize.
Numerous witnesses are requested
They will request the hearing of numerous witnesses who can confirm that the suspect had an extremely loving relationship with his son and that no motive could be found as to why he should have committed the crime he was accused of.
Private experts support lawyers
The defense team will be supported by several private experts “to be able to question the experts commissioned by the public prosecutor during the main hearing.”
