The impact on the victims family is lifelong. Therefore, we hope the Panel of Judges will render a decisionthat is truly just reflects gravity of the crime, the upholds the principles of justice and the dignity of the law.
The damage have been done, family of Zivan R facing troumatic life and scared to walk outside from their house, for their kidds to go to school and socialized with others, short of economic problem.
Dispite the Public Prosecutor explicity concluding that all legal ellements of premeditated murder under Article 340 of the Indonesian Crime Code, join participation, and illegal possesion of firearms have been legally and convincingly proven, the reicommended prison sentences of 17 and 18 years are viewed by the family as grossly disproportionate to the gravity of the crime and insufficient to serve as a meaningful determent.
