Zwei Urteile und viele Zweifel Revisits Ursula Herrmann Case

The documentary 'Zwei Urteile und viele Zweifel' investigates one of Germany's most mysterious criminal cases - the kidnapping and murder of 10-year-old Ursula Herrmann in Bavaria in September 1981. The young girl vanished on her way home from school and was later found dead in a buried wooden box in the forest, where she had been buried alive.

The case remained unsolved for almost three decades until a married couple was arrested in 2010 and later convicted of the crime. The film focuses on the two verdicts in the case and the many doubts that still surround this ruling.

The documentary critically examines the evidence that led to the conviction, as well as the expert testimony and technical analyses presented in court. The title directly hints at the film's central theme: that despite two convictions, significant doubt still surrounds the question of guilt.

With a critical eye on how the justice system handled this complex case, the film offers insight into one of the most debated wrongful-conviction questions in modern German criminal history.
