The lawyers of Donny M. (24) think their client should be acquitted for murder of 9-year-old Gino van der Straeten. Counsel Maikel Horsch said this during the final day of the criminal trial. "At no time did he have the premeditated plan to take Gino's life," he said. There was a sudden violent movement of mind, personality problems and insufficient awareness of the consequences of his actions, according to the defense.
