Their alibi was they were on holiday in Greece? The only proof of which was the desk register? No photos, no credit card receipts?
shareThis is germany.
At least we don´t let some random citizens with literally no qualification decide the fate of individuals like in the US.
What strikes me the most was that her attorney didn't mentioned the photo fit picture when he sums up her description of the girl with the bike (she gave to the police a few hours after she saw her).
She said the bike was new, and evidences proved it was right, with some case attached to it. Also proven right. Then it was said that she might have not well seen the girl, because she might have been on drugs.
How on earth someone on drugs can help create a photo fit picture that looks exactly like the girl that was arrested. She has never seen her in her life.
The sketch is a proof, that is completely forgotten by her attorney.
On the other side, as you said, no proof at all, other than a very questionable list of guests.
All the names on one line, but theirs was added in between lines, later. Seriously?!
I doubt that with that proof in mind, they'd lose the trial. But then, no movie.
