In one of the first trials in Germany against so-called "killer clowns", two young women were convicted on Wednesday for aggravated bodily harm after they scared a mother late at night. “It was really dumb, and I am really sorry,” said one of the young women on Wednesday in court. National and state authorities, including the German Interior Minister, started speaking out against the killer clown reports, calling for zero tolerance. The judge in the case in Würzburg said that the actions of the young women were in no way harmless. “That is not a joke.”The young women had also not initially shown understanding of what they had done, the victim had argued.
