I essayed a bit in July of 2019 over the Swiss-immigrant who'd pushed a German kid into the path of a arriving train in Frankfurt's main station.
Well....the case concluded yesterday.
Based on a lot of research and questions....the judge agrees with the mental health experts....the guy is not capable of understanding guilt. No prison sentence....he'll spend the rest of his life in a mental facility. Nothing said over whether it'll be a Swiss or German facility.
What was the whole history on the guy?
He was originally from Eritrea, Africa. Around 2006, he made his way to Switzerland. He applied for asylum and was accepted.
What you can generally say (based on Swiss chatter)....is that the guy did a great job on integration. He learned the language. He got into a occupation. He worked and paid taxes. He married, and even had kids.
At some point, it appears around 2016/2017....something triggered issues (mental). No one can ever point to what happened....maybe just stress.
He ends up at a clinic and does a month of in-house therapy.
It's left to you to guess if some type of drug was prescribed. My humble feeling is that they gave him 'something'.
Things proceeded along for about a year, and then more issues developed. He admits to hearing voices at this point. The system should have 'clicked' and more in-house treatment should have occurred.
He gets into an argument in his apartment building....threats are made, and the police get called. The guy runs out the door.....boards an ICE train to Frankfurt, and that's where the 'push' occurs.
Paranoid schizophrenia? Both the Swiss and German authorities use the term. The doctor that the German court used....suggests that the guy is a continual threat (even now).
The case is closed, and maybe a year or two down the road....someone will write a book over the whole episode.
