“He then tried to revive the boy for 15 minutes. He’s a father himself, he’s really sorry,” emphasizes defense attorney Kurt Jelinek and emphasizes: “That could have happened to any police officer.” His client had to pursue the fleeing moped driver: “He couldn’t, couldn’t pursue it.” It was a controversial one Case, one that polarizes. “The standard of care is being strained. From my point of view, this should be acquitted.” During the trial, the emotions are palpable, the death hurts the relatives but also police colleagues: An officer who was on the bus is asked about details and begins to cry: “It happened so quickly. The moped’s rear tire went to the right, then it fell and the impact occurred.” The distance? “In my opinion, we could have stopped in time at any time.” And she also confirms: The accused gave Andreas mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. “He didn’t want to stop,” said the colleague. Another official also emphasizes: “The fall was not foreseeable.” And: “We did not press him.”
