Lawyer adam ahmed has serious doubts about the expert opinion of a psychiatrist about his client. The munich lawyer represents a 40-year-old man from kulmbach, who is currently serving a prison sentence of several years for dangerous bodily harm, before the lower court in bayreuth.
In december 2012, the man, who has a number of convictions, caused life-threatening injuries to another man during an altercation. He had hit him so hard with a chair that the furniture was broken. Then he continued to beat his victim with a chair leg and knocked him down with a fist punch. Then he kicked several times against his head, stomach and upper body. His victim suffered a fractured cheekbone, a brain hemorrhage and 17 broken ribs. The perpetrator was drunk and under the influence of drugs. The subsequent preventive detention had already been reserved in the verdict at that time.
Attorney ahmed criticized the expert opinion of psychiatrist norbert nedopil, who assumes that the defendant is a danger to other people even after his release from prison. The psychiatrist had attested to his client’s lack of willingness to undergo therapy and lack of stamina, which was a problem, especially in view of the alcohol consumption and the associated increased propensity to violence.
