Beschreibung
Actor Alvin Karr may have murdered his wife, the disabled Rutta. This yet-to-be-proven event has brought three judges, a prosecutor, a defense attorney, a court clerk, and of course, the accused Alvin Karr into the courtroom. The trial proceeds routinely according to established rules until a mysterious nameless man (He) enters. He asks for nothing, but also explains nothing, only insisting on his silent presence, which the court cannot deny. The trial mysteriously escapes judicial regulations, laws, and the natural order. Perhaps the inexplicable twist was caused by the unknown, but maybe He is just a passive pawn in someone else's game. It could be a cynical joke, perhaps someone is striving for their dignity, or maybe their lives are at stake... The upper layers of the judges, those professional interpreters of justice, the prosecutor as the guardian of legality, and the defense attorney as the servant of his client's rights and interests, gradually peel away like layers of an onion, revealing the cores of real people underneath. Ritter – a writer and lawyer with many years of experience – unfolds a thrilling courtroom drama lasting just one day, in which he does not hide his skepticism towards judicial justice.
