China is well known for taking things out of context.
The so-called rumor: This story takes place in Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In September 1991, at the unified Berlin Court, the world-famous Berlin Wall Guards case will be pronounced. Those on trial this time were four young people, all under 30 years old. They were once East German guards at the Berlin Wall.
On a winter night two years ago, Chris, who had just turned 20, secretly climbed the Berlin Wall with a good friend named Couture in an attempt to escape to freedom. Several shots were fired, one bullet penetrated Chris's chest and another hit Couture's ankle. Chris died soon after. Little does he know that he is the last victim of this wall. The East German guard who shot him was named Inge Henrik. Of course, he never imagined that just nine months later, the fence would be torn down by Berliners, and that he would end up standing in court to be tried for murder.
The final verdict of the Berlin court was that Inge Henrich, the guard who shot Chris, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison without the possibility of parole. His lawyers argued that they were simply people carrying out orders and had no choice and their crimes were not their own. The judge pointed out in court: "The law of East Germany requires you to kill people, but you know that these people who spurned the tyranny and fled are innocent, and you are guilty of killing them knowing that they are innocent. As a police officer, you are guilty of not carrying out the orders of your superiors." , not sure of guilt. As a rational person, at this moment, you have the sovereign right to raise the muzzle of the gun one centimeter. This is your conscience obligation.
Comment: In this world, conscience. It is the highest standard and cannot be ignored under any excuse.

In an interview last month, we verified this story with Christoph Schanefgen, the former Berlin justice minister responsible for such criminal trials, and Bernhard Jahntz, a former senior prosecutor. After a moment's thought, they categorically denied that there was no such case, and the judge would not answer that way.
