The Reason For The Judge Rejecting Rizieq's Exception On The Swab Test At The UMMI Hospital
JAKARTA - The panel of judges stated that the reason for the rejection of Rizieq Shihab and his team of attorneys was because the charges made by the public prosecutor were in accordance with the rules. Thus, the indictment can be used as a basis for examination
"Considering that after reading and reviewing the indictment in the name of Muhammad Rizieq Shihab or Habib Rizieq Shihab, the panel of judges is of the opinion that the indictment has met the formal requirements of an indictment," said Chief Judge Khadwanto during a trial at the East Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, April 7. .
In the regulation, the dakwan contains the complete identity of the defendant. Moreover, the indictment has also clearly and accurately explained the criminal acts allegedly committed by the defendant.
In addition, Rizieq and his team of lawyers' exception points which are deemed to have been included in the subject matter of the case are also another reason.
"As the defendant's exception did not fall into the scope of objection," said Khadwanto.
Previously, the panel of judges rejected the objection or exception note filed by Rizieq Shihab and his team of lawyers in the case of the swab results of the UMMI Hospital in Bogor. That way, the trial of this case will proceed to the stage of witness examination.
"To completely reject the objections or exceptions of the defendant and the defendant's team of attorneys," said the presiding judge Khadwanto.
With the rejection of this opinion, the East Jakarta District Court has the authority to try the case. Until later it was decided whether Rizieq Shihab was guilty or not in the case of the results of the swab test at the UMMI Hospital in Bogor.
Then, the panel of judges also assessed that the indictment made by the team of public prosecutors (JPU) was in accordance with the applicable regulations. Thus, this indictment can be used as a basis for case examination.
"It states that the general prosecutor's letter of case registration number PDN01 / JKT.TIM / EKU / 03/2021 dated March 4, 2021 on behalf of the defendant Muhamamd Rizieq Shihab has been drafted carefully, clearly and completely," said Khadwanto.
"Ordered the public prosecutor to continue investigating case number 225 / Pid.Sus / 2021 / PN.Jaktim on behalf of the defendant Muhammad Rizieq Shihab," continued Khadwanto.
