Unter Anklage: Der Fall Harry Wörz (original title)
UFA FICTION GmbH • TV Movie • SWR • January 29, 2014
The UFA Fiction production commissioned by SWR and ARD Degeto "Unter Anklage: Der Fall Harry Wörz" tells of one of the most sensational miscarriages of justice in the Federal Republic of Germany, of the powerlessness of the individual against the inertia of the justice system, and of the strength and perseverance required to reveal the innocence of a victim of justice.
CONTENT OF THE FILM
Harry Wörz’s case began in 1997 after his separated wife was strangled so severely in their apartment that she suffered permanent brain damage and became a nursing case. Wörz was accused of attempted murder and sentenced to eleven years in prison. In 1999, a damages suit was brought against him, which was taken over by the lawyer Hubert Gorka. When the judges ruled in favor of Harry Wörz, Gorka and his client decided to fight to have the prison sentence overturned. An exhausting marathon with numerous setbacks began. Together, the two fought their way through retrials and appeal hearings all the way to the Federal Court of Justice, which finally acquitted Harry Wörz and established the negligence of the original investigating authorities.
