Verdict Expected In German Train Incident Case
Prosecutors stated a 31-year-old rejected asylum seeker acted without criminal responsibility during a recent train incident in Göttingen. An expert opinion and witness testimonies suggest the man suffers from schizophrenia. The prosecution indicated the individual may require permanent psychiatric care. A verdict is expected today in the trial of a 31-year-old man accused of pushing a 16-year-old girl in front of a train last summer. The case drew national attention because the defendant, an Iraqi national required to leave the country, should have been transferred from Germany to Lithuania months before the incident under European asylum rules.
