Murder Story

A murder court episode opens in Wiesbaden today....it's over the 14-year old Mainz girl....killed by a local asylum guy (from Iraq).  It has charged up some folks in Mainz, and at least has public curiosity over the details of the murder, and the path that this migrant led up unto this event.

One of the more curious things pointed out by the cops (now) is the path of criminal behavior.  HR (our public TV network in the region) pointed out some of these issues.

About 18 months into his entry into Germany, four months after failing the visa application and on a appeal process.....this guy comes up with his first criminal situation.  He's part of a group that 'mobs' some woman, and there is an ensuing fight.  An investigation starts up....then gets dropped by the police (no reason given).

Around eight months pass, another fight episode, and in this case....the victim doesn't want to go into court.  So that case gets dropped.

A month passes and the guy 'bumps' into a female cop in Wiesbaden.  In this case, he beats the cop to some minor degree and spits on the cop.  Normally, that type of behavior would get you a number of weeks in some jail.  He spends that night in jail.....but the investigation goes into a lingering mode.

A month or two passes, and now a new and more serious crime....rape of a migrant 11-year old girl.  This doesn't go anywhere much on the investigation.  No one talks much over the accusation or if there was lack of evidence. 

Around two months pass from that episode, and the guy ends up murdering the 14-year old Mainz girl. 

At some point early on....there should have been some fatherly-type figure to step in and insist upon correcting his behavior.  The cops could have early on.....set the pace by putting him into some jail for a month, or putting on some plane back to his homeland..  Various things that should have occurred, just never did occur. 

The max on the murder charge?  If convicted?  Twenty years.  Some people have suggested that they might get the conviction, and then work some deal to deport him to a prison in Iraq.  I doubt that the German legal system would allow that to occur.
