True crime is booming - in podcasts, books and series. But where is the line between journalistic investigation and exciting storytelling? What responsibility do media professionals bear when real crimes become stories? And what does this trend mean for victims, investigations and our understanding of law and justice?

An evening dedicated to true crime will address these questions. Annette Ramelsberger, renowned court reporter for the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Dr. Laurent Lafleur, judge at the Munich Higher Regional Court and Dr. Andrea Titz, Vice President of the Traunstein Regional Court, will take part in a panel discussion.
Together they will shed light on how crime scenes are turned into narratives, the ethical challenges involved and why true crime is so fascinating.

We cordially invite you to an exciting discussion at the interface of justice, media and entertainment.

To the speakers:
