Overview

• Armin Meiwes filed a new application for conditional release from his life sentence, as confirmed by the Staatsanwaltschaft Frankfurt and Landgericht Kassel.
• The Strafvollstreckungskammer at Landgericht Kassel secured an expert prognosis and held a hearing on July 23 before pausing its review until December at the defense's request.
• The Staatsanwaltschaft Frankfurt formally objected, urging the court to reject Meiwes’s bid based on the expert’s unfavorable assessment.
• The expert prognosis report advised against his conditional release at this time.
• Defense lawyer Frank Füglein argues that Meiwes poses no threat to public safety and accuses JVA Kassel of failing to prepare him adequately for release.
