A 34-year-old man in Germany has been sentenced to life in prison for killing two and injuring four others in a train attack, contrary to defense's request for psychiatric care.
The prosecution sought to establish 'particular severity of guilt,' resembling first-degree murder, to secure a conviction that would lessen chances of early release.
The defense argued for psychiatric care due to the defendant's alleged mental illness, suggesting manslaughter charges if found ineligible for criminal prosecution.
Despite signs of psychotic symptoms, experts did not find full psychosis in the defendant, leading to the judge's decision to sentence him to life in prison.
