JAKARTA - The chairman of the assembly who handled the case of Gregorius Ronald Tannur at the cassation level, Supreme Court Justice Soesilo, had different opinions with other Supreme Court judges because he considered that the defendant in the murder of Dini Sera Afrianti should have been acquitted, according to the decision of the Surabaya District Court.

Based on a copy of the cassation decision Number 1466 K/Pid/2024 which was downloaded from the Supreme Court's Kepanteraan page in Soesilo, it was concluded that Ronal Tannur did not have a minister or intention to commit a crime.

Therefore, he considered that the decision of the Surabaya District Court to release Ronald Tannur was correct.

"The facts constructed in the indictment of the public prosecutor are connected to evidence, so there is a conclusion or conclusion that the defendant does not have a rea minister to commit a criminal act as indicted by the public prosecutor so that the verdict of the judex facti (PN Surabaya) that releases the defendant from the indictment of the public prosecutor is correct," said Soesilo.

In Soesilo's assessment, the victim Dini Sera Afrianti died from a major tear wound to the liver due to blunt violence that resulted in bleeding. Although there was a post-mortem that explained the death, Soesilo assessed that the results of the post-mortem did not necessarily state Ronald Tannur as the perpetrator,

"Moreover, until there was an allegation that the defendant ran over Dini Sera Afrianti's body as the cause of the death of Dini Sera Afrianti because there was no evidence that could prove the allegation," continued Soesilo.

Soesilo believes that the witnesses examined at the trial cannot explain the actions charged to Ronald Tannur.

Electronic evidence in the form of CCTV footage also did not show that Ronald Tannur had run over Dini Afrianti's body with her car.

The cassation panel consists of three Supreme Court justices. Although Soesilo as chairman of the assembly had different opinions, two other Supreme Court justices, namely Ainal Mardhiah and Sutarjo, agreed that Ronald Tannur was found guilty of committing a criminal act of persecution which resulted in the death of Dini Sera Afrianti.

Therefore, the cassation panel decided to grant the appeal requested by the public prosecutor at the Surabaya District Attorney's Office. Ronald Tannur was sentenced to five years in prison so that the released sentence in question died.

Recently, the verdict for Ronald Tannur's release by the Surabaya District Court was widely discussed because the panel of judges who sentenced him to acquittal was named a suspect on suspicion of accepting bribes or gratuities in deciding the Ronald Tannur case.

The cassation panel is also in the spotlight after former MAZarof Ritecut employee was named a suspect. Zarof Ricar is suspected of being a broker to smooth out Ronald Tannur's case at the cassation level, but he is said to have not submitted bribes to the Supreme Court judge.

The results of the examination carried out by the audit team formed by the Supreme Court concluded that the cassation panel Ronald Tannur was not proven to have violated the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Judges (KEPPH).

However, the Supreme Court's examining team admitted that Zarof Ricar had met Soesilo in Makassar.

According to the Supreme Court, during the brief meeting, Zarof Ricar had mentioned Ronald Tannur's cassation case, but Soesilo did not give a response.
