At the trial of the year in Germany, TV’s “Mister meteo” challenged the judge appointed to sentence the rape case. According to the lawyers representing 52-year-old Joerg Kachelmann, the judge is not impartial since he is a neighbor of the alleged victim, a 37-year-old radio journalist who for years had a relationship with Kachelmann, and is also the manager of a volleyball team of which the woman’s father is an honorary member.
