PRINCESS CANDRAWATHI COULD HAVE BEEN AGREED BY THE JUDGE

 

NEWSMOTIVA ITERNATIONAL - Pros and cons after the decision of The Public Prosecutor (TPP) against Putri Candrawathi (18/1/2023) for 8 years related to the case that happened to her husband Ferdy Sambo, this should not have happened if all parties agreed to respect the trial process. Moreover, it must be compared with other defendants including Richard Eliezer who is the main perpetrator of the murder of Nofriansah Yoshua Hutabarat with a sentence of 12 years.

One of the senior journalists who now manages online media said, so far what I am concerned about the law is that whatever the Prosecutor demands or the verdict handed down by the Judge cannot satisfy the justice of all parties. For this reason, in the legal process, certain opportunities are provided, starting from appeal to cassation. So it is strange when it is only at the reading stage of the prosecutor's demands that the prosecutor has taken it upon himself in the name of justice.

He added, should be ashamed dong! said the professor, how come legal experts argue on television broadcasts like people who don't understand the law, it's a pity for our people who watch shows that don't educate. Is it true that in this way it can affect the Judge's conviction? of course not, because Hakim is accountable to God not to his girlfriend or anything else, so the consequences are very heavy.

When asked about the possible verdict that the Judge would later pass, in a low tone he said, as an ordinary human being he felt very sorry for Princess Candrawathi, not because she was a woman and a mother who happened to be both children of God. But looking at the facts of the trial that has been going on, he was a victim of harassment, sexual violence, rape or whatever the terms were, so the judge could have been acquitted, he concluded.

The public is waiting whether the motive for the murder of Nofriansah Yoshua Hutabarat according to the Judge's belief was an affair, the same as what was conveyed by the Prosecutor, or rape according to the testimony in the trial of both Ferdy Sambo and Putri Candrawathi herself. Where the testimony of the Psychological Expert Witness brought in by the Prosecutor, the mitigating expert witness and some other evidence shows the direction of conformity to the motive.
