Support The Appeal Prosecutor, Commission III Of The DPR To Guard The Freely Sentenced Ronald Tannur Case

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR Habiburokhman is concerned about the decision of the Surabaya Court (PN) which acquitted Gregorius Ronald Tannur. He ensured that his party would oversee this case and support the prosecutor in conducting an appeal.

Ronald Tannur, son of a former member of the DPR, was acquitted of all charges of persecution to death against his girlfriend Dini Sera Afrianti.

"If I follow the case, watch the video, in my opinion, the panel of judges should be able to apply the principle of intent knowingly the possibility or dolus of an eventualist," Habiburokhman told reporters, Thursday, July 25.

"So even though the person concerned has no intention of killing, he should be aware that the possibility is because of his actions, the victim could die," he added.

According to the Gerindra legislator who is also an advocate, this principle is an important issue in the decision of the Surabaya District Court judge. Therefore, Habiburokhman hopes that the prosecutor will appeal the judge's decision.

"I really hope that the prosecutor will appeal this case," he said.

Habiburokhman also ensured that Commission III of the DPR in charge of law and human rights would oversee the Ronald Tannur case so that it would run as fairly as possible.

"And we are the same as overseeing the appeal level court. So that the victims of the deceased can get justice," he concluded.

Meanwhile, the Public Prosecutor (JPU) will file an appeal against the decision of the Surabaya District Court regarding the acquittal against Gregorius Ronald Tannur in the alleged murder case of Dini Sera Afriyanti.

The Head of the Attorney General's Office, Harli Siregar, said that the reason for the appeal was because the judge's decision was deemed inappropriate.

"So indeed we have to appeal it, because looking at the facts of the trial and the judge's considerations seem inappropriate," Harli told reporters, Thursday, July 25.

According to him, several considerations by the panel of judges, one of which was that none of the witnesses saw the incident felt strange.

Moreover, the evidence that had been submitted in court such as CCTV footage showed Gregorius Ronald Tannur crossing Dini Sera Afriyanti's car.

"So all the facts that have been submitted, for example CCTV, that the evidence ran over the victim, while the judge looked more at the absence of witnesses," he said.

"The consideration is too vague and does not look at the facts in the field and those proposed by the prosecutor. So we did state an appeal," continued Harli.
