Influence of witnesses in the rape process: Vechtaer in focus!

Wildeshausen, Deutschland - A sensational process before the Wildeshausen District Court currently employs the courts and the public. A 43-year-old man from Vechta is faced with the accusation of trying to manipulate statements in favor of a freaked trucker in the rape process. According to nwz online , the suspected act took place during a company party in June 2023, in which a 15-year-old 37-year-old truck drivers accused them of raping them.

The process of this serious allegations ended after several days of negotiation with an acquittal for the accused, since there were numerous contradictory testimony. The accused man, according to his own description of the organizer of the celebration, reported that he and other guests looked for the alleged perpetrator after the news about the supposed rape. He noticed that the situation was "charged" and more tense than expected.

manipulation of the testimonies

Now the Vechta man is accused of putting pressure under pressure in order to obtain false statements from witnesses. Er bestritt, mit Repressalien oder arbeitsrechtlichen Konsequenzen gedroht zu haben und beschrieb, dass er keine Anzeichen von Gewalt feststellen konnte, als er das Mädchen befragte, ob ihr jemand wehgetan habe. This statement seems to have little influence on the ongoing process - another day of negotiations is already scheduled and seven witnesses are invited. Due to the overload of the court, the continuation of the process will only take place in December.

The fact that such manipulations occur in criminal processes is worrying and throws a light on the problems within the legal system. Especially in the United States, where racism and injustice often led to shocking courses, the lynch justice was not only a dark chapter in history, but also reflects today's realistic danger when justice fails. Between 1882 and 1964, according to estimates over 4745 African-American victims of Lynch Justice, most perpetrators remained punishable, according to [Journal21.ch] (https://www.journal21.ch/artikel/erschuetterste-geschichte-der-Lynch Justice).

racism and police violence

In the USA, the statistics on police violence are terrifying. African Americans have almost three times as high risks to be killed by police violence. For many, this is a daily reality. The frightening fact that African Americans are often disadvantaged in society is clearly evident in various areas: from higher unemployment to lower educational opportunities to an unequal distribution of possessions. The article on RND emphasizes that the risk of afro-Americans by police force, based on various statistics, clearly is higher than for their white fellow citizens.

In view of these current developments and the multi -layered problems related to racism, one has to ask how strongly the legal system and society react to the difficulties with which marginalized groups are in particular confronted. The ongoing process in Wildeshausen is only an example that illustrates the urgency of these topics
