Fatal shot in barracks: 20-year-old has to go to prison for 12 years!
In a sensational process that took place today in the State Court of Klagenfurt, a 20-year-old primary military servant was sentenced to a comrade for the fatal shot. The incident occurred in the Spittaler Türk-Kaserne, and the negotiation lasted the entire day. The public prosecutor accused the accused deliberate killing, while the defense aimed at a "tragic misfortune" and saw no motive for the crime. Judge Dietmar Wassertheurer, who conducted the chair, found that the defendant caught up in contradictions and had a conscious act with the weapon. The jury came to a clear vote from 8 to 0 for murder.
After a consultation time of about two hours, the jury finally expressed their judgment: 12 years in prison. The decision is not yet final, which means that the case may not yet have been completed. The indictment was able to present strong evidence of the intention behind the shot by presenting a video of the defendant's dessert behavior. It was particularly noteworthy that the jury was provided with an uncharged Glock pistol, which gave you a better picture of the situation. These special circumstances take off the case of others and illustrate the complex nature of military structures and their legal framework.
background of military criminal law
Although the military justice was gradually dissolved after the end of the First World War, it nevertheless influenced today's legal situation in Austria. The tasks of the OMGH finally went to the Supreme Court, with some military judicial officers being taken over to the civil sector.
These legal framework conditions throw a light on the challenges with which the military justice is confronted, and illustrate the severe such incidents as we have experienced in Klagenfurt today. The judgment against the basic military servant may send a clear message, but the discussion about military law and its application remains in full swing in view of the complexity of the circumstances of a "tragic misfortune".
