Guilty without a trial. In the case of film director Dieter Wedel, who was accused of rape, the verdict was clear for many, but especially for one of his sons: “Dieter Wedel was a monster, a sadist, rapist and misanthrope. The world has become a little bit better.” That’s what Benjamin Voland, 23, wrote, the son of Wedel’s long-standing relationship with actress Dominique Volant, as a comment on the father’s death on Instagram. The son no longer needed a criminal trial, he had already made up his mind.
