Remember Fritzl? The Austrian that *confessed* to locking his daughter in a dungeon complex, kept her there for 24 years, had 7 children by her, most of which he also kept locked up etc. Seems the maximum that he might be locked up for is 10 years.
What's worse, if it can be believed, are statements from the prosecution like this:
The charges of rape will also be difficult to prove in the absence of any objective evidence
If being locked in a dungeon against ones will, for 24 years, to be used for sex with not only DNA evidence but offspring to account for it, with only one person, the confessor, knowing of the existence of the dungeon, looks like a remarkable lack of evidence, then yeah, I can see how the prosecution might be hoping some-one from the cast of CSI could turn up and help them make a case.
I think they need a new prosecution team.

There's an article in The Daily Mail UK, about Fritzl not able to cope with being cooped up in his cell, so has been allowed out for walks!
ReplyDeleteThe poor dear......
Let's just hope he actually DOES get locked up - wasn't he going to plead insanity...
ReplyDeleteI find it a bit hard to believe the wife knew nothing about this for all those years, too.
