In the process of his spectacular escape with stolen police weapons in the Black Forest, a psychiatrist certified that the accused had at least a partially reduced culpability.
Yves R. suffers from a combined personality disorder, said reviewer Dr.
Stephan Bork on Tuesday in front of the Offenburg regional court.
For the arrest situation, when R. injured an officer with an ax, the appraiser determined that he was less liable for guilt, but not for the previous disarmament of the police.
The man who became known as the “Ranger von Oppenau” had disarmed four police officers in July 2020 while checking a forest hut in the Black Forest that he had illegally lived in and fled into the forest with their service weapons.
The police were looking for the now 32-year-old with a large contingent.
The arrest in a bush near Oppenau was not made until five days later.
R. injured a SEK officer on the foot with an ax.
He is charged, among other things, with hostage-taking.
A verdict is expected on Friday.
Before his arrest, the hungry, thirsty and sleepless man was in an exceptional affective situation - and in a stalemate that was hopeless for him.
His understanding of honor made it impossible for him to give up.
However, his will to live was so strong that he did not want to draw any of the stolen weapons.

Then a taser hit him, whereupon he struck with the ax in the direction of the pain stimulus and hit the SEK officer.
However, there was no exceptional affective situation for R. when he was checked by the police in the hut.
The expert described R. as an intelligent man who, however, clearly deviated from socially accepted norms in his behavioral patterns.
