JUDGES SHOULD NOT BE FOOLED BY THE PROSECUTOR'S DEMANDS

NEWSMOTIVA OPINIONS - Entering the final round of the trial in the Ferdy Sambo case which has already reached the reading of the charges, the judge must not be fooled by the prosecutor's demands but must remain independent in his convictions based on the facts of the trial without being influenced by public pressure or any party.

The Ferdy Sambo case which has caught the attention of the public, both at home and abroad, cannot necessarily be interpreted differently in criminal law, because in principle all must receive equal treatment based on the facts of the trial. Both men and women, especially Putri Candrawathi (50 years), wife of Ferdy Sambo.

When viewed from the construction of the case, the case referred to is an ordinary case and there are many cases that do not require such a complicated settlement. The only difference is the crime scene (CSM). Meanwhile, efforts to obstruct investigations are actually inherent in all criminal cases, only incidentally involving elements of law enforcement.

In the legal analogy that says "there is no perfect crime" or "There is no party that doesn't end," then the perpetrators of crimes are certainly even more imperfect. So it is not usual for prosecutors to conclude witness or defendant statements as convoluted, at the same time assumed to be burdensome.

Conversely, on the other hand, it shows the inability of the prosecutor to provide sufficiently relevant instructions to the judge, namely the conformity between the statements of the accused, witnesses and expert witnesses, to pass a verdict. Thus the Judge must not be fooled by the Prosecutor's demands. (Senior Journalist Writer: Ezekiel Suyoto)
