Cannibal loses final appeal

17/2/07 - German court rejects confessed cannibal's appeal. A German federal court in in Karlsruhe has rejected a murder conviction appeal by Armin Meiwes who admitted killing and eating an acquaintance he met on the internet. In his appeal Meiwes argued the death of Bernd Juergen Brandes should be classified as a mercy killing.The court “rejected the appeal .. as clearly unfounded,” according to the court statement Friday 16/2/07. It noted that Meiwes' life sentence meant he could be released after 15 years at the earliest — 'and then only if he is no longer dangerous.' Meiwes has said that Brandes traveled from Berlin in 2001 after answering his Internet posting under the pseudonym 'Franky' seeking a young man for 'slaughter and consumption.' He said Brandes wanted to be stabbed to death after drinking a bottle of cold medicine to lose consciousness. Meiwes captured the killing on video.

16/2/07 - Karlsruhe (dpa) Die lebenslange Haftstrafe gegen den «Kannibalen von Rotenburg» ist rechtskräftig. Der Bundesgerichtshof hat in einem heute veröffentlichten Beschluss die Revision des angeklagten Armin Meiwes verworfen.

Das Landgericht Frankfurt hatte im Mai 2006 den damals 44-Jährigen wegen «Mordes zur Befriedigung des Geschlechtstriebs» verurteilt.

Der Kannibalen-Film 'Rohtenburg' darf nach einem Urteil des Frankfurter Oberlandesgerichts(OLG) nicht inDeutschland gezeigt werden. Der Psychothriller verletze das Persönlichkeitsrecht des als 'Kannibalen von Rotenburg' bekannt gewordenen Armin Meiwes, sagte der Vorsitzende des 14. OLG-Zivilsenats, Bodo Nordmeier, in Kassel.Das Gericht gab damit der von Meiwes beantragten einstweiligen Verfügung gegen den von Regisseur Martin Weisz gedrehten Film statt. Das Persönlichkeitsrecht wiege schwerer als die Kunstfreiheit, auf die sich die kalifornische Produktionsfirma Atlantic Streamline berufen hatte.Die Plakate sind schon gedruckt…

CourtBans German Cannibal Film

4Law 3/3/06 - A court on Friday 3/3/06 banned the screening of a film inspired by the case of a self-confessed cannibal, less than a week before it was due to open in German movie theaters. A state court in Kassel upheld a complaint against the film, 'Rohtenburg,' by the man at the center of the case. It found that Armin Meiwes' personal rights were infringed by the movie, and that outweighed the value of artistic freedom. 'Rohtenburg,' directed by Martin Weisz and starring Thomas Kretschmann in the main role, was due for release in Germany March 9. Anyone defying Friday's court ruling to screen the film anywhere in Germany could face a fine or up to six months in prison.
