JOMBANG - Not kidding, the public prosecutor charged Tubagus Joddy, the driver of the fatal accident that resulted in Vanessa Angel and Febri Andriansyah's death, with article 311 paragraph 5 of the Law on Road Traffic and Transportation. This article provides for a maximum penalty of 12 years in prison.
Tubagus Joddy, the driver of the Pajero car who was involved in an accident in early November 2021, is currently on trial at the Jombang District Court, East Java.
"I don't mind, Your Honor," said Tubagus Joddy in response to the indictment that was read by the public prosecutor's team at the Jombang District Court, January 27.
It is explained in the indictment that, apart from Tubagus Joddy, in the car were Vanessa Angel, her husband, Febri, who is familiarly called Bibi, Gala Sky Andriansyah (one year, seven months) and Gala's caregiver, Siska Lorensa (21).
Vanessa and her family departed from Jakarta, driving a white Pajero Sport car with the police number B-1264-BJU to Surabaya.
The group stopped several times at the rest area because Febri was sleepy and asked Tubagus to replace driving the car.
While driving, Tubagus also made a status update on his Instagram story and replied to WhatsApp telling his parents that he was still driving the car.
In addition, when driving a car Tubagus also does not pay attention to the speed limit. At that time, the speed limit was up to 125 kilometers per hour, whereas the maximum speed limit was 80 km/hour and the minimum was 60 km/hour.
Tubagus is also known to be sleepy while driving the car, but did not stop his vehicle until the car he was driving had an accident at KM 672+400A Astra Toll Jomo on Thursday, November 4 at around 12.30 WIB.
"At that time, the defendant was driving the car and was very sleepy. At 125 km/h he lost control. He swerved to the left and hit the road divider causing the car to turn in two directions and stop in the opposite direction. The defendant realized that he had exceeded the maximum limit. as well as playing with cell phones. Playing is a dangerous act, but still doing it, "said Prosecutor Adi Prasetyo.
As a result of the incident, two people died, namely Vanessa and her husband. Meanwhile, Gala and her caregivers, including the defendant Tubagus, were also injured.
In the virtual session, the prosecutor charged under Article 311 paragraph 5 of Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, then Article 311 paragraph 3 of Law No. 22 of 2009.
In addition, there are also Article 310 paragraph 4 of Law No. 22 of 2009 and Article 310 paragraph 3 of Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation.
Meanwhile, Tubagus Joddy's attorney has not prepared a mitigating witness in a legal case whose case has now been tried at the Jombang District Court, East Java.
"About 11 witnesses have entered the BAP. They are witnesses from the public prosecutor's office. We haven't had any mitigating witnesses yet. We will coordinate with the defendants directly," said Joddy's lawyer, Eko Wahyudi, quoted by Antara.
He said that in the inaugural trial held at the Jombang District Court, no exceptions were prepared. Because he had just been appointed by the Panel of Judges as the legal representative of Tubagus.
"We have just received the indictment and the articles that have been indicted, there is no direct exception to the examination of witnesses. We will produce evidence in the court session later. There are no exceptions," said Eko.
Eko plans to meet with the defendant Tubagus Joddy to discuss the contents of the indictment. Because he had just been appointed, he only knew the contents of the indictment.
