Pamela Pabst - Lawyer and criminal defense lawyer

Description

Pamela Pabst is the first criminal law attorney in the Federal Republic of Germany who is blind from birth. Blind judges and prosecutors are far more common. However, according to a decision of the Federal Court of Justice, a blind person is not allowed to be a criminal judge.

During the main hearing, attorney Pamela Pabst avails herself of the help of a sighted assistant, who gives her additional information about the behavior of witnesses and participants in the court proceedings when she deems it necessary, but she can also tell whether someone is lying or telling the truth by the sound of their voice. In addition, her assistant reads the files to her and - when necessary - describes photos.
