The witness confirmed that in her statement to the police she said that defendant 2 told her that they had "kind of taken someone down" and he regretted it (although she noted that she also said other times that he had told her that "someone had taken down"), and explained that this was what he had told her. When asked why she said that it did not sit well with his character, she replied that she knew Defendant 2 for about six months from work as a normal, normative, pleasant person, and not someone she could have imagined could do such a thing, and therefore did not believe him very much (pp. 305-306).
In her cross-examination by counsel for defendant 1, the witness confirmed that this was the only time she had drunk with defendant 2 and saw him in a state of drunkenness, and that in their previous conversations she had not noticed any distress in him. To the question of whether during the party she identified additional distress in defendant 2, or heard, for example, that someone threatened or blackmailed him, she answered in the negative (pp. 307-308).
Seizure of Object Evidence
Following the discovery of the deceased's burnt car, on February 27, 2018, at 5:06 P.M., Yoav Barkan arrived at the scene from the mobile laboratory. In the northwestern part of the Ivim Forest parking lot, the burned vehicle (35-147-77 sqm) was located next to a sewer cover protruding from the ground, and inside it was found a burnt body, almost limbless, lying on its stomach in the driver's seat, its head resting on the left side of the front right seat, upper limbs folded toward the chest, and the remains of the lower limbs facing towards the left front door. Various exhibits were seized in and near the vehicle, including thick shards of glass, on and near the driver's seat, one of which reads "ERRE D'HERMES...". In addition, about 20 meters southwest of the vehicle, a pair of socks (one inside the other) were found wet, torn and stained with a suspicious blood-like substance (hereinafter also referred to as the "Corps of Engineers"); The socks were tested with a human blood identification kit and a response was received, and they were seized and subsequently transferred to the biological laboratory for testing, but no comparable genetic profile was obtained. All the exhibits were marked and their place of discovery was documented (P/96, P/96A, P/96B, P/96C, P/86).
