A German court case in Frankfurt is playing out over the death of a student from 2014.....Turkish-German Tugce Albayrak. Tugce was killed in the parking lot of a McDonalds.....having been pushed to the ground from a young Turk-Greman guy. To be honest.....most reports all indicate the guy had a bit too much to drink and he probably wasn't in control of himself.
From the opening story that the news media put out.....everyone had some belief that the guy would be convicted for the accidental death of Tugce Albayrak (a female student).
The story was hyped up as a young Turkish-German gal who was a four-star personality and would accomplish much in life.
Well....this week, with the court situation blasting away.....at least one witness has portrayed Albayrak as insulting the young guy (he's around 18) before he pushed her to the ground.
The insult? "Come here, you little son of a bitch."
Presently, the chief charge here is assault, causing death. Most news analysts will say that the max you can get if five years in prison.
The insult angle to this? Germans have a different view on insults. Just flipping a bird toward a cop could land you easily in jail. Using 'du' instead of 'sie' with a cop.....could be viewed as an insult. The judge could attach the insult into the situation and have a radically different view on this altercation between the young guy and the young gal. Even if convicted on the assault charge.....he might lessen the punishment to six to twelve months in jail because of the insult situation.
Shocker? I would say that the public really didn't expect this insult comment, and it might portray the four-star character that Tugce Albayrak was portrayed as......being somewhat less.
