JAKARTA - The defendant Richard totaling alias Brigadier J said that as a member of the National Police he was only a student to obey and carry out the orders given. He conveyed this when he read out the memorandum of defense or plea of the trial at the South Jakarta District Court, on Wednesday, January 25. "As a Brimob whose background is paramilitary, I am educated to obey and obey and do not question the orders of my superiors," said Bharada E. However, Ferdy Sambo's former aide handed over to the panel of judges to assess his compliance. Because, there is an assumption that Bharada E was too harsh so he dared to shoot Yosua alias Brigadier J. "If anyone considers my obedience and obedience 'to blind', then I leave it to the wisdom of the Panel of Judges," he said. On the other hand, in his plea, Bharada E also expressed his gratitude to President Joko Widodo to high-ranking police officers. The reason is, thanks to them, the Ferdy Sambo scenario in the alleged murder case of Brigadier J was exposed. "I would like to express my gratitude, especially to Mr. President Joko Widodo, Mr. Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mafhud MD, the National Police Leader, namely Mr. National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit, Mr. Deputy Chief of Police Commissioner General Gatot Eddy Pramono," he said. "Mr. Kabareskrim, Commissioner General Agus Andrianto, the Commander of the Brimob Corps, Commissioner General Anang Revandoko, who I have also considered like my own parents," said Bharada E. Meanwhile, Bharada E was declared legally and convincingly committing a premeditated murder by the public prosecutor (JPU). Thus, he was charged with imprisonment of 12 years. The reason behind the demands was because Bharada E was the executor of the shooting of Brigadier J at the official residence of the Police Complex, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, July 8. In addition, Bharada E also did not refuse orders to shoot from Ferdy Sambo. In fact, Ricky Rizal alias Bripka RR was originally asked for the first time to reject it. Bharada E is believed to have violated Article 340 of the Criminal Code, subsidiary to Article 55 paragraph 1 to (1) of the Criminal Code.
