Overview
- ARD elevates the episode “Weil du böse bist” to a 90‑minute primetime slot as the series opens its new run.
- The case centers on a suspected killing that ends with a surprise acquittal after an alibi overrides circumstantial evidence.
- Subsequent findings renew suspicion yet collide with the ne bis in idem principle, sharpening the show’s focus on justice versus legal finality.
- The narrative examines the social toll through intensifying conflict between the victim’s and suspect’s families and strains inside the investigation team.
- Directed by Tanja Roitzheim and written by Annette Hess, the film airs January 5 at 20:15 on Das Erste and has been available in the ARD Mediathek since December 31.
