Overview
- The Amtsgericht Landsberg found the hunter guilty under animal-protection law and imposed 150 day-fines at €200 each, totaling €30,000.
- Smartwatch and phone sensors captured a sharp sound spike consistent with gunshots and a later heart-rate surge, aligning with the dog’s GPS data near the solar park.
- Laboratory testing identified only dog blood on recovered ground samples and on the collar, muzzle and tracker, and officers and walkers recovered two .308 casings after hearing two shots.
- Investigators failed to secure the deer the hunter cited, preventing a pathology exam and leaving some timing questions unresolved.
- The defendant denied wrongdoing and stayed silent in court; the judgment is not yet final and the hunting authority will review his license as administrative steps proceed.
