JAKARTA - Ferry Irawan, who is currently being detained for alleged acts of Domestic Violence (KDRT), is ready to face trial, after Venna Melinda seemed firm that she would not withdraw the report and refused to make peace.

Jeffry Simatupang as Ferry Irawan's attorney expressed his readiness to defend his client in the panel of judges. "The communication door has been closed, there are no peace efforts, no mediation efforts. But once again, this is until whenever there is peace, so we call it still open up opportunities for peace," said Jeffry to the media crew in the Mampang Prapatan area, South Jakarta on Wednesday, January 1.

"But if there are no more peace efforts, we will focus on the law enforcement process. We will open all our defenses, the evidence we have, the facts we have in the trial later," he continued.

Waiting for the court process, Jeffry stated that he would continue to seek legal rights for Ferry. He has also applied for a suspension of detention. With the reason that Ferry has several history of illness, the lawyer wants his client to be healthy when facing trial.

"We only ask for the reasons we have explained. The matter is granted or not, it is entirely the authority of the police from the East Java Police," said Jeffry regarding the request for a suspension of Ferry Irawan's detention.

Jeffry also asked the reported party not to make statements that seemed to justify that Ferry Irawan was guilty. Especially for Venna's attorney, he appealed not to precede law enforcement.

"Let the legal process run properly, let it be proven in court later. Let the judge give the fairest decision for both parties," he said.

For him, until now there is no basis for both parties to assess whether the domestic violence that has occurred is true or not. "It can't be said that it happened or not at this time, that's the realm later in court. Let the judge decide, it's true or not that it happened," said Jeffry.

"If it doesn't happen, we ask the judge to release him. But even if it is proven, (punished) according to his actions, if it is his actions like this, don't be punished like this. Let his actions be punished accordingly," he concluded.
