That is seriously WTF!A convicted German cannibal returned to court today for a retrial to determine if his killing and eating of a willing victim amounted to murder.
Yeah, becaus the guy wanted to be killed and eaten. From that perspective, it could be legally argued this is no more different than assisting suicide or euthanasia; in the first case, that's what happened, and the top court sent it to be retried because they felt his recording of the killing was ignored, and that allow it to be legally tried as murder.Night Hammer wrote:wait theyre not sure thats murder?
He's obviously not been eating well.....In a dark suit, and thinner than at his first trial,
I'm wondering what evidence suggests that he wouldn't start doing this sort of thing again. Personally I'd think that a cannibal (especially one as deeply disturbed as this one) would not simply be able to stop that sort of behavior. *shrug*Lawyer Harald Ermel acknowledged his client had a "fetish for human flesh", but said he was no longer a threat.
"Under the same circumstances he would never do something like that again," he said.
Maybe he decided he didn't like the taste.darkshivan wrote:

I doubt it.aldo wrote:Maybe he decided he didn't like the taste.
Not so certain about that. I once heard about how a butcher sold off his murder victims as pork during WWII.ngtm1r wrote:You see, we have another natural defense besides our intelligence. We actually taste bad. If you ever wonder why people survive shark, cougar, lion, bear, whatever attacks, it's because they took a bite and swore off human forever.
