However, at the end of the interrogation, when asked why he did not report it to the police, Defendant 2 replied that when Defendant 1 told him that he wanted to "take the deceased down", he thought he was joking with him and did not know why he did not report it (ibid., at paras. 248-249).

In addition, when he was confronted with certain contradictions in his version regarding the deceased's gun, defendant 2 explained that "when we met with him, he was with the gun, he walked around with the gun [Defendant 1] just told him you won't get the money until you put the gun in the car.  This is the truth and all the truth" (ibid., 194-195).

In the reenactment conducted for defendant 2 on 4 March 2018 at 13:07 (transport and voting report P/13, video documentation CD P/13B, transcript P/13A, it should be noted that in the transcript 15 files were transcribed, but not in chronological order), since defendant 2 said that he did not know the city and could not lead to the scenes of the incident, he was led and voted "in reverse", in which the interrogator led him to various places and he was asked to explain what happened there (P/17).  When they arrived at Ivim Forest, where the car was parked, Defendant 2 recognized the place, and said that when they arrived at the scene, the three of them walked towards a bench (which he pointed to) and sat there, Defendant 1 asked the deceased to put the gun in the car, and said that if he did not do so, he would not receive the money.  After the deceased left the gun, they began to walk together under the direction of Defendant 1, with him and the deceased in front and Defendant 1 behind them, and "I am conducting the conversation, I asked him how much he wanted and how much money he needed to bring him and [Defendant 1] was actually supposed to bring him the money."  When asked how much money was agreed that the deceased should receive, defendant 2 replied that he did not know because the agreement was with defendant 1, something like NIS 3,000-4,000; He added that defendant 1 also spoke with the deceased about bringing larger quantities of drugs (P/13A, pp. 15-16, file 004 on the disc).
