The defendant, a member of the Indonesian Navy (AL) in the shooting case against the car rental boss at the KM45 rest area, Tangerang-Merak Toll Road, Jayanti, Tangerang Regency, Banten, has appealed the results of the verdict handed down by the Jakarta Military Court II-08.

"On Friday (28/3), the defendants through legal counsel (PH) have filed an appeal," said Head of Military Authority II-07 Colonel Kum Riswandono as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, April 8.

However, Riswandono confirmed that the Jakarta II-07 Military Oditur would not appeal the decision to the three defendants.

The Military Oditur who handled the shooting case of the rental boss submitted a counter-memory on the verdict handed down to the three defendants in the shooting of the rental boss.

Until now, his party is still waiting for the schedule for the appeal hearing to be held at the Jakarta High Military Court.

"If the appeal hearing depends on the Panel of Judges, we are just waiting from the Jakarta High Military Court," said Riswandono.
