We have a pretty crazy court case in Germany right now, may seem familiar. Here it goes.
Businessman in his mid-40s wants to die (has for years already) and is looking online for someone to slaughter him. This is well documented and established by witnesses.
Cop has fantasy of cutting body into pieces (not eating, thus not sure whether it is Cannibalism).
They match up perfectly. The deed gets done. Forensic experts are unable to determine the exact cause of death - defense says it was suicide, prosecution and judges believe it was murder.
Sentence: guilty of murder, but only 8.5 years in jail (which is actually contrary to the book as murder = life with possibility of parole is mandatory in Germany).
What say you, Sherdog? Is justice happening here?

Edit: not all body parts were found, so it is a possibility he did eat some after all
