Synopsis
Etzel, the son of the great prosecutor Andergast, wants to look over the file for the Maurizius case, in which the accused was condemned on the basis of suppositions. This was the case which allowed his father, 18 years earlier, to get a head start in his career, but Etzel has some doubts.
