Offenburg (dpa / lsw) - After the verdict against the “ranger von Oppenau” to three years imprisonment for taking hostages, his defense lawyers have appealed.
This confirmed the law firm of lawyer Melanie Mast on Thursday.
The Federal Court of Justice must now decide on the criminal law decision of the Offenburg lay judge.
A main hearing could then possibly take place again.
The “Badische Neuesten Nachrichten” had previously reported on the revision.
You think the judgment is "simply legally wrong," said Mast after the end of the trial in Offenburg.
There was no hostage situation.
The ruling raises legal questions that the Federal Court of Justice must clarify.
The now 32-year-old defendant Yves R. disarmed four police officers in July 2020 while checking a forest hut he illegally inhabited in the Black Forest and fled into the forest with their service weapons.
The arrest in a bush near Oppenau was not made until five days later.
From the lawyers' point of view, the main question is whether the few moments in which the police officers were threatened with a gun by the man can be counted as a hostage-taking.
