The Public Prosecutor (JPU) asked the panel of judges to reject the exception or objection note submitted by the defendant Strong Ma'ruf. The reason is that the indictment in question by the legal advisory team has been prepared by fulfilling formal and material requirements.

"Declaring to reject the objection note of the defendant and the legal adviser for the defendant Strong Ma'ruf for the whole," said the prosecutor during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Thursday, October 20.

Then, in their response, the prosecutor also asked the panel of judges to accept the indictment file registered with the case number PDM-244/JKTSL/10/2022. So, it can be used as the basis for the examination of Strong Ma'ruf.

"It was arranged properly in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code and therefore the indictment can be used as the basis for examining this case," said the prosecutor.

Furthermore, the panel of judges was also asked to give orders to present witnesses in the premeditated murder case. This means that this trial will continue to the next stage.

"Ordered the public prosecutor to summon witnesses at the next trial," said the prosecutor.

Responding to the response, Chief Judge Wahyu Iman Santosa said that his party would make a decision at the next trial on October 26. Later, it will be determined whether or not the examination of Strong Ma'ruf will continue.

"After the trial is read, it will be postponed and an interim decision will be held on October 26," Wahyu said.

Previously, it was reported that the legal advisor for the defendant, Strong Ma'ruf, assessed that the prosecutor's indictment did not explain the actions of his client which were considered to support or violate criminal acts. Thus, the dakwan is called not clemat and must be null and void by law.

"In the description of the events and actions committed by the defendant in the indictment, there is no explanation of the facts that explain the complete and clear role of the defendant in the act of a crime," said Strong legal advisor Ma'ruf.

In addition, the prosecutor's indictment is also considered wrong, especially regarding the series of events. This is because the chronology of events in the indictment is considered null and void.

Especially in the Strong Ma'ruf section, which is said to have been aware of the plan to eradicate the life of Nopriansyah Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J.

"The public prosecutor never explained when, where and from whom the defendant was Strong Ma'ruf knew of the plan or intention to take the life of Nopriansyah Yousa Hutabarat," said the prosecutor.
