Episode 25 - A conclusion, a hypothesis and many questions
In Episode 25 of One of 26, I delve into the labyrinthine case of Lars Hummer, where inconsistencies and unanswered questions abound. From Detective Chief Inspector Entner's puzzling decisions to the murky ties between the Hummer family and law enforcement, the narrative is fraught with intrigue. I explore the dubious handling of evidence, the questionable legality of document seizures, and the family's potential motives for framing Lars. Could Lars' revelation of his transsexuality have sparked a chain of deception, or was it a mere coincidence? As I unpack these layers, I ponder whether justice will ever prevail for Lars Hummer, who continues to fight against a system seemingly stacked against him. Join me as I navigate this tangled web of mystery and seek to uncover the truth.Episode 24 - No acceptance

On January 13, 2020, Dr. Johannes Driendel, a seasoned lawyer with an impressive track record, filed for a retrial at the Coburg Regional Court. Despite a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights highlighting procedural violations, Hummer's application was rejected.

In Episode 23 of One of 26, titled "A Wall of Silence," I delve into the perplexing case of Lars Hummer, a man struggling to gain media attention for his legal battle. Unlike high-profile cases such as Gustl Mollath's, Hummer's story is met with indifference from both media and human rights organizations. Despite repeated attempts to engage journalists and activists, Hummer encounters a consistent lack of interest, highlighting a broader issue of selective media coverage. I explore the systemic failures and the chilling implications of a justice system that seems to overlook his plight. Join me as I unravel the complexities of this case and question why some stories remain untold.Episode 22 - Life, suffering and a new beginning
