Overview

• The prosecution requested life imprisonment for the alleged hitman and the 58-year-old ex-wife, plus 10 years and 3 months for the son-in-law and 7.5 years for the daughter.
• The daughter testified late in the proceedings that her mother asked her boyfriend to have her father killed.
• Following the daughter's statement, the mother admitted core allegations, expressed regret, and appealed to presiding judge Thomas Bott not to impose a life term.
• The mother asserted that any murder agreement was only between her and her son-in-law, a version that conflicts with the daughter's account.
• Defense lawyers attacked the prosecution’s case, sought acquittals for the alleged killer, the daughter, and the boyfriend, and the mother’s counsel proposed nine and a half years, with the court set to deliver its ruling in the afternoon at the Munich II regional court.
