Stock Photo - 21 June 2022, Rhineland-Palatinate, Kaiserslautern: Christian Kessler, lawyer for the 33-year-old defendant, answers journalists' questions in the hearing room of the Kaiserslautern Regional Court. There, the trial for the police killings in January in the Western Palatinate begins today (21.06.2022). The prosecution accuses a 39-year-old man of shooting a young policewoman and her colleague during a traffic control. The public prosecutor's office assumes that the 39-year-old was on the road with an accomplice on the night of the crime for hunting poaching in the Palatinate. The 33-year-old second man is accused of, among other things, attempted obstruction of justice - he had helped cover the tracks. Photo: Uwe Anspach/dpa. - Kaiserslautern/Rhineland-Palatinate/Germany
