A year ago, I essayed a bit over the murder of a Mainz teenager, in the Wiesbaden area....which eventually led to a young Iraqi guy (noted in press coverage as 'Ali B').
This murder trial is underway (maybe for three months now), and we are getting to the 'experts' stage. So it came up in commercial news coverage today that a mental health expert has examined Ali B. What the doctor says is that Ali B has a "dissocial personality disorder with psychopathic features".
If you add drugs or booze, it only makes the issue worse. And he was doing both.
Then the doctor laid down a pretty rough assessment....that Ali B had this idea that Germany was this country where a guy could have sex with women...."without feeling any consequences."
If you start at the very beginning (when Ali B and his family packed up and left for Greece....on the way to Germany), and introduce this Mainz Jewish teenage girl, with all the drama included, and the chase after Ali B by the authorities.....it'd make for a five-star script for a movie and maybe a 600-page book.
The verdict for this case? Right now, journalists are suggesting it'll come by 3 July. Even if proclaimed guilty (rape and murder)....I don't see the guy getting more than 20 years in prison. Based on the mental health description, I might even go and question if he should be in a prison, or in a mental facility.
In this case, if Ali B had stayed in a controlled environment (without booze or alcohol), he probably would have been better off. Coming to Germany, with open doors to everything, and perceptions that weren't grounded in some reality or civil behavior? It was probably wrong decision.
As for the public? This case tends to remind people that for every hundred 'good' stories you can come up with for migration and asylum.....there's that one really 'bad' story laying out there and really undercuts all the positives. Even if they'd handcuffed this young guy and forced a massive amount of integration into his life style in the very beginning....his mental issues would have limited any success.
