The Rupperswiler four murderers of Thomas N. is neatly kept. The Aargau upper court has refused to keep the 35-Year-old to prison for life, at the same time N. rejected s request to waive a custody at all. The district court of Lenzburg pronounced life imprisonment was challenged by neither side.
there are Two key questions: to complete the legal processing of the cruel fact, which shook the whole of Switzerland, with this judgment? And: Is the waiver of the life-long detention with a loss of security for the General Public?
The answer in both cases: no.
The case in Rupperswil from psychiatric and legal point of view, of particular importance.
in the face of suffering, the Thomas N. brought to so many people, may sound like a technical remark heartless: Rupperswil was, and is, from a psychiatric and legal perspective, of particular importance. He led the psychiatrist in the face of this monstrous fact, and this particular offender to the limits of psychiatric knowledge. And the lawyers argue over the interpretation of the mass took the right. Probably the last word will lie with the Federal court.
For the Public is Central, with the renunciation of the life-long detention, no loss of safety is associated. As long as Thomas N. relapse is at risk, he remains in the execution of the custodial sentence. He is not in custody – neither a proper nor a life.
Therefore, the renowned psychiatrist Frank Urbaniok not launched the discussion about the life-long detention shortly before the start of the process only at an inopportune time. It is just in the case of Rupperswil is also of secondary importance. The controversy can be brought even if the result, unemotional considered to be is already determined: The measure, although it is never applied. Because their function is fulfilled today in the proper custody.
