JAKARTA - The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) regrets the demand for 12 years in prison Richard totaling alias Bharada E in the alleged murder case of Yosua alias Brigadier J. In fact, the status of justice collaborator (JC) has been pinned to Bharada E. "Because we hope that we have determined (recommend) Richard as JC and he has shown his commitment and consistency in revealing this crime openly," said LPSK Deputy Chairman Susilaningtias to reporters, Wednesday, January 18. Moreover, according to Susi, the LPSK Law contains leniency of lawsuits for defendants who are recommended as JC in each case. "We hope that the relief from the imposition of punishment, such as in the Law on the Protection of victim witnesses article 10A, there will be an explanation related to conditional crimes, then the lightest criminal and criminal offenses from the defendants," said Susi. Thus, Susi assessed that the demands made by the prosecutor against Bharada E did not respect the recommendations from LPSK. "We deeply regret this, indeed, LPSK's recommendations related to Richard totaling status as JC as well as his award for leniency in punitive punishment were not heeded," said Susi. Bharada E is considered proven to have participated in a series of premeditated murder incidents against Yosua alias Brigadier J. Thus, he was charged with imprisonment for 12 years. "Demanding to impose a sentence on Richard totaling 12 years of reduced detention," said the prosecutor. In the charge, there were several burdensome considerations. One of them Bharada E is the executor in the premeditated murder case of Brigadier J. In addition, there are also mitigating considerations. The prosecutor considers Bharada E to be a justice collaborator from the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK). "The defendant is the defendant's witness who helped dismantle this case," said the prosecutor.
