The District Court's decision stated that the court was convinced that there was a need to continue the investigation and arrest, but that the receipt of the results of the forensic tests should be expedited. The appeal was partially granted, in the sense that the respondent's detention was shortened by one day until July 26, 1999 at 10:00 a.m., unless a different decision is given by the detention judge, and to the extent that the results of the forensic examination clear the respondent of guilt, the police must bring the respondent before a judge on duty in order to request his release.
- On the same day, a partial report was received from the forensic department, according to which the tests could not obligate or negate the respondent's involvement, since the examination of the minor at the time did not reveal the existence of a profile DNA Foreigner. In response, the police inspector asked the police officer to inform him of this, if this answer required the respondent to be brought to court for his conditional release.
On the same day, another search was conducted at the respondent's home in an attempt to locate a trouser belt, but the search yielded nothing. In addition, an informant was again brought into the respondent's cell. We will bring below some of the exchanges (emphases added):
Dubbed: The things they took from your house, are there things you know what they took from you?
Respondent: What is the first time, yes, almost everything. Almost nothing of this has anything to do with the case. Some of the things are just circumstantial, to show me maybe I have a strange character or something like that. I don't know, what. I told you, tapes.

Respondent: ... Some of them are just pictures that have footage from movies, girls in bikinis, some Playboy nudity, you see? Or all kinds of booklets, some for women, some just pictures of girls. The judge said in the first hearing, it doesn't mean anything.

Respondent: Or condoms... What a criminal I keep condoms in the house.
