Because the former star lawyer played an important role in the case of the dead Lisa Zenker. There are many indications that there is a connection between the two cases: After a traffic accident, the young woman was paralyzed from the neck down. dr Weis was behind the wheel at the time. Now her life has been ended with a drug cocktail. Euthanasia, forensic doctor Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne is still at the scene of the crime - the home for the disabled in which the girl lived. The head of the home Katharina Stoll is one of the last that Dr. saw Weiss alive. He was her legal adviser.

About the show

Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
