The naivete of the Austrian justice system at that time is sad. It almost seems that they had no concept of a sociopath--a person with no conscience who will say or do anything to suit their means; and weave very "in depth", complicated, incredibly believable lies to get their way. At the same time, they were willing and almost desperate to pimp him out as proof that their reform system works...so who was playing whom, I guess.

The hair-flip of death
This is a very tongue-in-cheek documentary about animal courtship and mating. Shows some mounting but nothing graphic or pornographic. Lots of silliness ensues. Tell me where YOU thought they were going when they said "for the longest example of an animal penis, go no further than your local basketball court!"
