In this context, I will note that Defendant 1 confirmed Detective Hamami's statement that he cried during the conversation, and this is indeed consistent with the video documentation of the interrogation that took place shortly after the conversation (P/4A), where Defendant 1 appears to have cried earlier. On the other hand, defendant 1's denial before us that he told Detective Hamami that he wanted to tell the whole truth is inconsistent with what emerges from the video, and especially with his statement at the very beginning of the interrogation that he intends to tell "everything... Everything that happened... Murder around the case" (P/4, p. 1, 28-34).
Second, this is a suppressed version, which came up for the first time in the testimony of defendant 1 in court. Admittedly, as referred by counsel for defendant 1, at the first detention session of March 1, 2018 (P/2), Adv. Zaitsev, who represented him at the time, asked about the policeman who went out with defendant 1 for a cigarette break (and was told that it was a policeman named Adi); But her questions focused on the issue of whether he had spoken to Defendant 1 about the interrogation and whether he had warned him during the conversation, and she did not raise any claim that in that conversation Defendant 1 was given details of Defendant 2's interrogation, that Defendant 1 was asked to say certain things in order to incriminate Defendant 2 and lied as a result, or that he confessed because of what was said to him, as Defendant 1 claimed he had told her before the hearing.
Moreover, in this context, it is appropriate to refer to the interrogation conducted for Defendant 1 after his return from the reconstruction, at the end of which, when asked if he had anything to add, Defendant 1 said to the interrogator Lazmi, as follows:
"It's all thanks to aha... Detective Adi... S... I sat down to smoke a cigarette... He said to me, listen, I don't know you, I don't know who you are, I don't know if you did, I don't care either. You don't have to say it to me, but the way he came and told me if I did something, even if it's good, even if it's the ugliest thing we've ever heard... And I don't think I would have had the courage without him... Talking...".
