Ferdy Sambo/DOK VOI-Rizky Adytia

JAKARTA - Defendant Ferdy Sambo denied the statements of two criminal law experts presented by the public prosecutor (JPU). He considered that their view was not objective in following the wishes of the Criminal Investigation Police investigators. "Regarding the two criminal experts, we do not deny the theory, but the opinion given by these two criminal experts, we deny this," said Ferdy Sambo during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, December 21. According to him, the statements of the two criminal law experts, especially Effendy Saragih, were not objective because they were only based on the chronology given by investigators. Moreover, the former Head of the Propam Division believes that investigators want to suspect all those who were at the Duren Tiga official residence when Brigadier J died. "I want to deny Pak Effendi Saragih's statement earlier. Sorry, all BAPs were included in the expert examination report, but here the BAP in the expert's statement from my 22 pages as a suspect was only written with 12 rows," he said. "Because I believe this will not be objective but do the opinion according to the investigator's desire to suspect the five of us," continued Ferdy Sambo. Then, Ferdy Sambo also doubted the testimony of a forensic psychologist, Reni Kusumowardhani. This is because the experts should examine the five suspects in the premeditated murder of Brigadier J simultaneously. "Regarding the information from our psychologist who was examined twice and finally at the Mobile Brigade Headquarters, it took us approximately 8 hours to be examined by psychologist Apsifor. And this is perhaps what can be seen that the data must be complete, everyone must meet so that it can be objective," said Ferdy Sambo.
