Let me try and get this straight.
1. A bloke administers an injection to his stepdaughter, which kills her. He claims it was a tragic accident
2. A jury in Germany agrees and he is acquitted of manslaughter
3. The girl's father continues to pursue the case and gets it heard in France (in the absence of the accused)
4. The French court convicts him of manslaughter in his absence
5. The European Court says the French court were wrong to convict him in his absence
6. The father kidnaps the stepfather in Germany, ties him up and dumps him on the doorstep of a French courthouse
7. He will now stand trial in France

There's about 5 stages in that which I don't understand on pretty much any level.
