Stuttgart Regional Court: Six years in prison for manslaughter of ex-boyfriend with car
The defendant continued to drive with him on the hood for several kilometers. When he finally fell off the hood, the woman ran him over. He later died of his injuries in hospital.
The defendant was also convicted of dangerous interference with road traffic in conjunction with intentional driving without a license. In addition to the prison sentence, she was also banned from driving motor vehicles of any kind for a period of six months.
With the sentence, the court fell short of the prosecution's demand, which had pleaded for seven years in prison for manslaughter, dangerous interference with road traffic and driving without a license. The defense pleaded for three and a half years in prison for manslaughter in a less serious case, dangerous interference with road traffic and driving without a licence.
