Brazenly just kept on dealing

Brazenly just kept on dealing

In august 2017, a 36-year-old man from kulmbach was sentenced to two years and six months imprisonment by the bayreuth regional court for the commercial trafficking of narcotics, in particular crystal meth. The defendant was caught illegally importing the drug from the czech republic to germany and was brought before a magistrate. Until the main hearing, the defendant was not in custody, which he took advantage of to continue selling crystal, even though he was now under investigation. Because of this additional trade he had to answer for himself on tuesday morning before the kulmbach district court.
The defendant, who has been imprisoned in bayreuth prison since march, was charged with seven counts of dealing in narcotics between april and september 2017, each time allegedly selling about half a gram of crystal, each worth around 50 euros, to the same buyers at the mainleus train station.
The defendant confessed from the start, which judge nicole allstadt and prosecutor daniel gotz interpreted in his favor. "The defendant’s confession is worth something because it was made right at the beginning of the trial", said the prosecutor, pointing out that it was difficult to determine whether the defendant had in fact still been dealing in crystal after he had been convicted by the bayreuth district court.
"However, it does not depend so much on the number of individual cases, but on the overall assessment of the offences." Also by the small profit margin no relevant source of income for the accused is to be determined. However, prosecutor gotz described the defendant’s behavior as rather brazen, to continue with the sale of crystal, although the defendant knew that a procedure regarding this would come upon him. "At the latest he had to pull the reibleine."
Since the questioning of the witnesses did not provide any clear evidence either, he applied to judge allstadt for the proceedings to be discontinued with regard to all acts that were committed after the 11th day of the trial. August 2017 were allegedly committed. Furthermore, he requested that the penalty be extended to a total term of imprisonment of three years, taking into account the bayreuth verdict from the previous year.
Defense attorney johannes driendl argued for a total prison sentence of two years and ten months. Judge nicole allstadt finally found the golden mean and sentenced the defendant to a total term of imprisonment of two years and eleven months for the unlawful trafficking of narcotics.
"Your actions were so brazen that you can’t just stop the proceedings here.", she explained, even though the defendant had no criminal record before he was sentenced last year. "From the prosecutor’s motion, the schoffen and i jerked down another month because we generally got a positive impression from them, they were cooperative." She wished the accused, who is a father of several, all the best for therapy.

Concerns about the future

Worries about the future dominated the delegates’ meeting of the lower franconia district association (1215 member companies) of the bavarian hotel and restaurant association (BHG). If district chairman heinz stempfle, who was later confirmed in office for a further three years in a closed session, was concerned about the local gastronomy and predicted further pub deaths, guest speaker andreas huber, as leader of the german section in the club of rome, warned of the consequences of climate change and of limitless exploitation of our planet.

In his speech, which was greeted with applause, heinz stempfle said he was convinced that the decline in the number of pubs in lower franconia, which has been going on for years, will continue in the coming years – in contrast to the hotel industry with its record-breaking results. He blamed social change, the shortage of skilled workers, which is particularly worrying in the catering industry, rising costs, the associated drop in returns, and the bureaucracy imposed by the legislature, which is alien to the profession. Stempfle: "it is not the fault of the innkeepers if once popular traditional inns, successfully owned by the family for generations, are now forced to close down."

All utility plants in habberge county are in compliance with the current limit, according to a survey of all 26 towns and municipalities conducted by our newspaper. But this does not relieve the communes of all their worries. It means: be vigilant!

Bathing accidents pile up in bavaria

Recklessness, overconfidence, self-overestimation, ignorance of the dangers and also lack of swimming skills – according to the german life-saving society (DLRG) these are the main causes of swimming accidents. Deaths mainly in bavaria: at least nine people died on bavarian lakes and rivers last weekend. The sad record was due above all to the rough heat. "At the moment it is warm and many people are drawn to the water", said the press officer of the DLRG, sebastian low, to the dpa news agency. "In the past years we had many rainy summers. Accordingly, fewer people went into the water – and correspondingly fewer drowned."

Bavaria in particular is a vacation destination. Many people from the center of germany are currently vacationing in the free state, low said of the high numbers in bavaria. Already in 2012, no other federal state had more drownings than bavaria: 75 bathing fatalities here; 383 nationwide.

Zeiler weinhold wins two bronze medals

Zeiler weinhold wins two bronze medals

The fact that this success was not enough to qualify for the german championships was a bit of a nuisance for the 42-year-old. Weinhold presented himself in the "open master class" in a field with a strong field of players as well as in the "manner III" class two times very strong in the heinrich-lades-hall.

In the "open master class, in which there is no weight limit for athletes over 40, six of the eight participating athletes made it to the finals – including thomas weinhold, whose form this year was very good after being drained and after 14 weeks on a diet. Similarly in the men’s class III (up to 90 kilograms). Weinhold, who weighed in at exactly 85.9 kilograms, also made it to the finals in a class that was new to him. At the pre-selection here were also eight athletes on the stage.

The zeiler has the roughest fan group behind him

"after such a catastrophic year i didn’t want to start at all", the 42-year-old emphasized after several sporting and professional low blows. But because of the great support of his wife janina, who could not start this time for professional reasons, he will "also compete in the future, as long as it is possible healthwise."
