Additionally, Rosty Simanjuntak was very grateful for the judges' decision. This is because the 15-year prison sentence for Kuat Ma'ruf indicates legal justice in Indonesia.

"We believe from the start that judges are God's messengers on this earth to be able to provide justice and the fairest possible punishment for Defendant Kuat Ma'ruf," said Rosty.

Kuat Ma'ruf was found guilty in the premeditated murder case of Yosua alias Brigadier J. Thus, the panel of judges sentenced Ferdy Sambo's household assistant (ART) to 15 years in prison.
