Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - A fatal traffic accident on the banks of the Main in Frankfurt concerns the courts again.
The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Karlsruhe overturned the conviction of the alleged cause of the accident to a total of five years in juvenile detention for manslaughter.
According to the BGH decision that became known on Monday, the calculation of the total penalty with two other previous convictions of the man who was 20 years old at the time of the accident was incorrect.
The Karlsruhe judges decided that it had to be carried out again.
According to the allegation, the defendant was said to have been traveling on the Uferstraße in April 2015 at 142 kilometers per hour instead of the prescribed maximum speed of 70 km / h.
After allegedly racing through a red light, he collided with another car at a motorway slip road, the driver of which was killed.
In a first trial in 2016, the Frankfurt Regional Court first sentenced the man to three years' youth imprisonment, among other things for negligent homicide.
The case ended up before the BGH, which partly overturned the judgment.
The defendant was then convicted of manslaughter in April 2019 and given a five-year youth sentence.
The defendant appealed against this judgment.
In its decision, however, the BGH made it clear that there was no doubt that there was a conditional intent to kill and thus manslaughter.
