Ferdy Sambo's Attorney Was Criticized By The Prosecutor's Indictment Which Was Considered To Have A Lot Of Assumptions

JAKARTA - Ferdy Sambo immediately filed a memorandum of objection or exception once the indictment was completed. The attorney criticized the prosecutor's indictment for holding more assumptions.

"The public prosecutor is not careful in compiling the indictment because it is only based on assumptions and making its own conclusions," said Ferdy Sambo's legal team at the South Jakarta District Court, Monday, October 17.

Ferdy Sambo's team of lawyers gave an example when the prosecutor explained, "Hearing an uncertain unilateral story that is uncertain, the truth makes Defendant FERDY SAMBO angry, but with decades of intelligence and experience as a member of the Police, the Defendant FERDY SAMBO tries to calm him down and then thinks about and strategies to take the life of Victim NOFRIANSYAH YOSUA BARAT...

According to the attorney, the prosecutor in describing the series of charges strongly shows that it is only based on assumptions not based on the facts of the statements of witnesses in the BAP. So that the Public Prosecutor seems to conclude based on the assumptions of the Public Prosecutor himself.

"For example, in the Paragraph 3 page 11 of the INDICTMENT LETTER, the Public Prosecutor outlines the following:... WOMEN'S Witness CANDRAWATHI has changed clothes to a black-line green shirt model and black stripes green shorts, then Putri Candrawathi calmly and indifferently (cuek) left the house in the third duren...

The evidence stating that Putri was calm and indifferent, said the attorney, was not supported by the testimony of witnesses and any evidence. In this case, the Public Prosecutor puts a baseless and subjective conclusion.

"Referring to the provisions of Article 140 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code, the Public Prosecutor should have prepared a LETter of INDICTMENT based on the Investigation Report (the results of the Investigation) and guided by the rules, the persecution of the Supreme Court and even the doctrine of the law, not solely on assumptions or free essays. Thus the indictment of the public prosecutor must be declared null and void," he said.
