"Madeline McCann Suspect's Rape Trial Delayed Over Social Media Posts and Unrelated Sex Offenses"

Christian Brueckner, the convicted pedophile accused of murdering Madeline McCann, appeared in a German court for unrelated rape and sexual assault charges, but his trial was postponed after his defense attorney exposed a court clerk's "radical" social media posts. The attorney argued that the clerk's bias made her unsuitable as a lay judge, leading to her removal from the panel. Brueckner's lawyer also expressed concerns about his client's solitary confinement and emphasized that the current charges are unrelated to the McCann case.
