JAKARTA - The public prosecutor (JPU) asked the panel of judges to reject the memorandum of defense or plea from the defendant Ricky Rizal alias Bripka RR. This is because his ignorance of the shooting of Yosua alias Brigadi J did not make sense.
"We, the public prosecutor, ask the chairman of the panel of judges who examine and try the case on behalf of Ricky Rizal Wibowo to put aside the arguments put forward in his pledoi and declare that the defendant Ricky Rizal Wibowo is legally and convincingly proven to have committed a criminal act of premeditated murder together," said the prosecutor at the trial at the South Jakarta District Court (PN South Jakarta), Friday, January 27.
One of the alibis highlighted by the prosecutor was Ricky Rizal's ignorance of the murder plan. In fact, he was asked by Ferdy Sambo to protect him when he was about to confirm Brigadier J about the alleged sexual harassment.
"At that time, the defendant Ricky Rizal replied that he did not know when asked by Ferdy Sambo about the Magelang incident, July 7, 2022. Then the defendant Ricky Rizal was asked to shoot the victim Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat, who was also rejected by the defendant Ricky Rizal," he said.
In addition, the prosecutor also said that the argument from the legal advisory team regarding the defendant Ricky Rizal did not know that Brigadier J's problem with Putri Candrawathi was wrong at all.
In the facts of the trial, Ricky Rizal had time to secure Brigadier J's firearm. So, it should be suspected that he knew about the problems that occurred.
"So the involvement of the defendant Ricky Rizal Wibowo should be suspected of knowing for sure the real problem," said the prosecutor.
In this case, Ricky Rizal was sentenced to 8 years in prison. In a series of murder incidents, he was charged with securing the situation during the execution process.
However, in his plea, the defendant Ricky Rizal said he was not involved in the series of murders. Especially if it is said that he played a role in monitoring the movements of the late Brigadier J before the execution.
"I have never paid close attention to the movements or whereabouts of the late Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat," he said.
