Assuming The Judge Was Not Careful, The Prosecutor Files Cassation For The Release Of 2 Police Shooting FPI Troops

JAKARTA - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) at the Deputy Attorney General for General Crimes filed a legal cassation against the decision of the South Jakarta District Court Judge which released two police officers who shot FPI soldiers on the Cikampek Toll Road.

"The Public Prosecutor considers that the South Jakarta District Court (PN Jaksel) Decision dated March 18, 2022 contained errors that are included in the provisions of Article 253 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code (Book of the Criminal Procedure Code, ed.) as a condition for examining the cassation. ," said the Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) at the Attorney General's Office, Ketut Sumedana, in a written statement quoted by Antara, Thursday, March 24.

The Public Prosecutor assessed that the Panel of Judges was not careful in applying the law of evidence so that there were errors in concluding and considering legal facts from the evidence of witnesses, experts, and letters that have been proven and presented by the Public Prosecutor at trial.

"So we conclude that the actions of the defendant Brigadier Fikri Ramadan and the Defendant Ipda Yusmin Ohorella in committing the crime as stated in the Primary Indictment were due to forced defense and forced defense that exceeded the limit," he said.

The Public Prosecutor assessed that the Panel of Judges took consideration in the decision based on a series of lies or stories made by the Defendant First Brigadier Fikri Ramadan and the Defendant Ipda Yusmin Ohorella. "It is not based on the judge's own belief and evidence," he said.

Accordingly, the Public Prosecutor has submitted an appeal for cassation against the a quo decision that released the Defendant First Brigadier Fikri Ramadan and the Defendant Ipda Yusmin Ohorella from all lawsuits.

"In order to seek material truth by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia as the bastion of the highest judiciary," said Ketut Sumedana.
