True cases of a criminal defense lawyer
Imagine you had to breathe the same air as a murderer, spend time in the same room, talk to him, listen to him, believe him - and then defend him in court, in public, in front of the press, using every trick in the book. Would you do it? And if so, could you do it?
As a criminal defense lawyer, Veikko Bartel represented murderers in court for over 13 years - in 41 homicide cases with a total of 68 victims. He has written down the most exciting cases in his book "Mörderinnen und Mörder".
Join Veikko Bartel on a journey through one of these cases. How does it begin? How do you meet these people? What does it do to you? And try to find the answer to the question with him: Why does it break out in one person and not in another? What has to happen in a person's life for them to become a murderer?
For true crime fans, the live event with Veikko Bartel is an absolute must. This is really about the cases. Not about the defense strategy, not about the verdict or the trial (at least not primarily), just about the how and the eternally hovering "why?". Repulsive and fascinating at the same time, chilling and heart-warming.
