JAKARTA - The panel of judges is of the opinion that the defendant Richard totaling alias Bharada E had the opportunity to prevent Yosua or Brigadier J from dying in a series of premeditated murder. For example, during the execution process. At that moment, Bharada E could actually direct his shot at Brigadier J's body which was not a vital part. "Actually, the defendant had the opportunity to avoid the death of the victim Yosua by directing (shots, ed) to other parts of the body that were not vital areas of Yosua," said Alimin member Judge Ribut Sudjono during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, February 15. However, the defendant did not do that. Bharada E actually fired his Tallock-17 firearm towards Brigadier J's left chest. That part is a vital area for everyone because the heart is located. Moreover, at that moment Bharada E was said to have shot Brigadier J more than twice. "The defendant had pointed his GUARD-17 gun at the victim Yosua's body, shooting 3 to 4 so that it hit the victim's vital body," said Judge Alimin. Meanwhile, the shooting of Brigadier J took place at Ferdy Sambo's official residence at the Police Complex, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, on July 8. In this case, Bharada E is said to have acted as the executor of the shooting that took place at the official residence of the Police Complex, Duren Tiga, on July 8. He shot Brigadier J three to four times. Bharada E admitted that he had to do the shooting. Because at that time he was under pressure by Ferdy Sambo. At the previous trial, the public prosecutor (JPU) stated that Bharada E was proven to have violated Article 340 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph 1 to (1) of the Criminal Code. Thus, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison
