"The commander of the Central Intelligence Unit: We are (an unclear word) little by step, step by step , step by step, I don't have things I can't promise you because it's not under my authority
Defendant 2: But what will I do?
Commander of the Intelligence Unit: But I'm telling you that if you come and tell the truth like you do now and you tell everything and you give testimony, your situation I promise you will be much better, than if you started to get into a mess of lies now, did you hear?" (ibid., at p. 13, paras. 9-17).
And later on (ibid., pp. 13, s. 36 to p. 14, s. 21):
"The commander of the Brigade Unit: ... Now I'm telling you again, as soon as you told me at the beginning of the conversation that it's not you who is the murderer
Defendant 2: I didn't murder
Commander of the Intelligence Unit: Yes? Because you are not the murderer and you intend to tell the truth, Lior, the commander of the Special Operations Unit, will make sure that the police, the legal system of the State Attorney's Office, go with you and not charge you with murder. On the contrary. Take you as a guy who testifies and promotes this investigation case... You're getting into something here that you'll see again if you both planned it together, so it would have been more of a problem, but assuming you're telling me the truth..."
From the aforesaid, it appears that there is no basis for the claim that the commander of the Central Intelligence Unit promised Defendant 2 that if he cooperated and incriminated Defendant 1, he would be released to his home and leave the interrogation unharmed. On the contrary, from the beginning of the interrogation, the commander of the Central Intelligence Unit made it clear to Defendant 2 that he would assist him on condition that he was not involved in the incident; And as can be seen from the excerpts quoted above, after Defendant 2 gave his version, the commander of the Central Intelligence Unit even clarified to him that his version linked him to the murder, but that he would try to help him only on the assumption that his version was true and that he was not connected to the planning and execution of the murder.
