Trigger warning: sexualized violence against children
When twelve-year-old Sina moves in with her foster parents Norbert and Rita in the summer of 2001, it seems like the beginning of a new life. After years in a residential group, she finally has a real home that should give her support and stability. But a year and a half later, Sina says her foster father abused her. A trial ensues, in which it's one person's word against another. And one person's assessment ultimately leads the court to make a serious mistake...
In this episode of “Mordlust- Crimes and their Backgrounds”, we dedicate ourselves to the role of expert witnesses. With their expertise, they support judges in criminal trials to solve crimes, reconstruct acts and name motives. But how much power and influence do they really have? And what happens when supposed expertise simply turns out to be wrong? That's what this episode is about.
Experts in this episode: Psychologist Prof. Dr. Michaela Pfundmair, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Dr. Hanna Ziegert, lawyer Benedikt Müller
