About fairness: I think the discussion is way out of scope of HN, and I think it's about what you expect from a law system in a country. I don't understand you

I don't understand your second question. You mean, what kind of sentences are life long sentences? Murder, high treason (?) (Hochverrat gegenüber dem Bund) can be given life long sentence, Sexual abuses against a child in which the child dies (and several other crimes where a person dies can be punished with life long sentence)
- Tomte 12y agoDon't forget genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes (perhaps surprisingly, you can commit genocide without killing a single person). Easily overlooked because it's not in the Strafgesetzbuch (Penal Code) anymore. Probably the only felonies that carry a life sentence that are not found in the Strafgesetzbuch.
