The Story of Marianne Bachmeier: A Mother's Vigilante Justice
This image captures Marianne Bachmeier surrounded by photographers during a high-profile legal moment. Bachmeier gained international attention after she shot and killed the man who was on trial for the rape and murder of her seven-year-old daughter, Anna. The act of vigilante justice took place inside a courtroom. Following the incident, Bachmeier was sentenced to six years in prison for manslaughter and illegal possession of a firearm. She ultimately served three years of that sentence before being released. The case remains a significant historical example of a parent taking the law into their own hands following the loss of a child to a violent crime.


Why was she in prison for doing the government's task of executing the murderer?
Some would argue that's a very merciful punishment. In prison he would've probably gone through hell
FrĂĽher war alles besser!
She should have blamed it on post-infanticide depression horomones.
It's an embarrassment that she even saw a jail
She should have gotten a medal instead.
The word you're looking for is 'avenge'
Her daugther was only 7 when she was killed by that monster
Personal Hero
Also, a real mother does not kill three of her children, chasing them around the house until each of them is caught and killed, one after the other and then blame it on "postpartum depression.
