JAKARTA - The Yosua family alias Brigadier J is not satisfied with the public prosecutor (JPU) who charged the defendant Ferdy Sambo to life in prison. They consider the punishment appropriate for the former Head of the Propam Division to be the death penalty.

"In the event that the defendant Ferdy Sambo is sentenced to life in prison, the victim's family is disappointed," said Brigadier J's family lawyer, Martin Lukas Simanjuntak, to reporters, Tuesday, January 17.

According to Martin, Ferdy Sambo is considered worthy of the death penalty. Because, he is an intellectual actor in the murder case of Brigadier J.

Thus, Brigadier J's family hopes that the panel of judges who hear the case will later pass the maximum verdict.

"Hopefully the panel of judges who hear the case when deciding the case can give the maximum verdict," said Martin.

Ferdy Sambo was sentenced to life imprisonment in the alleged premeditated murder case of Yosua alias Brigadier J. Prosecutors also assessed that his actions had been legally and convincingly proven to have violated Article 340 of the Criminal Code.

"Sentenced the defendant Ferdy Sambo to life imprisonment," said the prosecutor

Behind the demands, there were several considerations from the prosecutor. However, there is not a single mitigating factor for Ferdy Sambo.

"There is nothing mitigating," he said.

Meanwhile, for burdensome considerations, there are at least six points. First, Ferdy Sambo's actions resulted in the loss of Brigadier J's life and deep sorrow for his family.

Then, Ferdy Sambo was convoluted and did not admit his actions in providing information at trial. His absence caused unrest and chaos in the community.

Then, Ferdy Sambo's actions are deemed inappropriate in his position as a law enforcement officer and high-ranking police officer.

"The defendant's actions have tarnished the police institution in the eyes of the Indonesian people and the international community and the actions of the defendants have caused many other members of the National Police to be involved," said the prosecutor.

In this case, Ferdy Sambo is said to have planned the murder of Brigadier J. Planning was carried out on the third floor of Saguling's house, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta.

The shooting of Brigadier J was carried out in the living room of the official residence of the Police Complex, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, on July 8.

The reason behind the shooting planning was because of the story about the harassment by Brigadier J against his wife, Putri Candrawathi.
