The German Supreme Court upheld the conviction of a family judge from Weimar who intentionally manipulated legal proceedings to challenge COVID-19 protective measures in schools. In 2021, he ruled against mask mandates and social distancing, citing children’s welfare as justification. However, he was found guilty of legal distortion by a lower court, receiving a suspended two-year sentence. The conviction emphasizes the importance of judicial neutrality and the integrity of the legal system, which was severely compromised by the judge’s actions.
