Bharada E's Vonence Value Expert It's Right: He Fights To Defend Cases Of Premeditated Murder Brigadier J
JAKARTA - Director of Solutions and Advocacy of the Institute (SA Institute), Suparji Ahmad, assessed that the sentence of 1 year and 6 months in prison was right for Richard totaling or Bharada E. He is considered to have helped reveal the premeditated murder case of Yosua Nopriansyah or Brigadier J.
"He has struggled tremendously to uncover this case, risking everything. So the verdict is in accordance with what he did," Suparji said in a written statement to reporters, Wednesday, February 15.
Suparji did not deny that this sentence was pro-contra because the perpetrator of the murder planned to be lightly punished. However, he considered the judge to have been objective and saw the legal events as a whole.
Thus, he considered that the public prosecutor did not need to file an appeal. "As a rule, the verdict that is far from being prosecuted allows prosecutors to appeal," said Suparji.
"In addition, it is possible that the verdict will set a bad precedent because as the perpetrator of the murder, the plan was cut lightly just because he was appointed as a cooperating actor. But hopefully this right will not be used," he added.
As previously reported, Richard was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison for being found guilty and involved in a series of premeditated murder cases against Yosua Nopriansyah alias Brigadier J. He was found guilty of violating Article 340 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 Paragraph 1 to (1) of the Criminal Code.
"The defendant was sentenced to imprisonment for 1 year and 6 months," said Chief Judge Wahyu Iman Santoso during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, February 15.
The verdict is lighter than the prosecutor's demands, which is 12 years in prison. Currently, the prosecutor and the defendant have seven days to determine their attitude towards the verdict.
In this case, the panel of judges has also sentenced the former Head of the Propam Division of the National Police Ferdy Sambo and his wife, Putri Candrawathi; Strong Ma'ruf; and Ricky Rizal.
Ferdy Sambo was sentenced to death. Meanwhile, Putri Candrawathi was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Then, the panel of judges sentenced Ma'ruf to 15 years in prison. Meanwhile, Ricky Rizal was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
