Overview

• Marc Terenzi was acquitted of charges of intentional bodily harm against his ex-fiancée Verena Kerth by a Hamburg court on May 23, 2025.
• The court applied the legal principle 'in dubio pro reo' (in doubt, for the accused), as evidence failed to conclusively establish guilt.
• Both the prosecution and defense requested a not-guilty verdict, agreeing that the exact sequence of events could not be reconstructed.
• The judge described the couple's relationship as toxic, with mutual harm and volatile dynamics contributing to the case's complexity.
• Verena Kerth expressed relief at closing this chapter, while Terenzi voiced gratitude for the acquittal and plans to focus on rebuilding his life.
