Overview

• Manfred Genditzki spent over 13 years in prison for a murder he did not commit before being exonerated in 2023.
• He is suing the state of Bavaria for at least €750,000 in damages, citing significant failures in the judicial process.
• New evidence revealed the victim's death in 2008 was accidental, not a crime, leading to Genditzki's acquittal after years of appeals.
• Genditzki previously received €368,700 in compensation, calculated at €75 per day of imprisonment, but argues this is insufficient for 14 lost years.
• His case highlights systemic issues in the justice system, with parallels drawn to other wrongful imprisonment cases in Germany.
