JAKARTA - The follow-up hearing regarding the threat case through electronic media conducted by Jerinx against social media activist Adam Deni, was held at the Central Jakarta District Court on Wednesday, February 2 afternoon, in the Kusuma Atmadja 4 room. Jerinx arrived at the Central Jakarta District Court at around 14.15 .

He stated that he was very ready to carry out the trial process with the agenda of expert witness testimony from the Public Prosecutor (JPU). However, the trial process was quite short because the two expert witnesses that I Gede Eka Haryana tried to present, as the Public Prosecutor, were unable to attend. The expert witnesses are Bambang Pratama, an ITE legal expert and Kompol Heri Prianto, a digital forensic expert. Both of them did not come because they had Covid and were expert witnesses in other cases.

As a result, the trial with a similar agenda will be continued on Monday, February 7th. In response to this, Sugeng Teguh Santoso as Jerinx's attorney, did not object.

"We have no objections and if necessary we can add experts from a psychiatrist or a psychiatrist," said Sugeng at the trial.

At the same time, there was news that Adam Deni, as Jerinx's opponent in the trial, was arrested by the police for illegal access. When asked whether this would make him more optimistic about being free, the man whose full name is I Gede Aris Astina replied, "It's okay, so he knows that karma exists."

By Adam Deni, Jerinx was charged with Article 335 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 29 in conjunction with Article 45b of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 19 of 2016 Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2008 concerning ITE with a threat of 6 years in prison.
