Serious Crimes Case (Beer Sheva) 63357-03-18 State of Israel – F.M.D. V. Assaf Masoud Suissa - part 79

He said he then went to work but did not work normally, and after about an hour or two he went home.  In the evening he went to a party where he met defendant 1 who told him that he had brought some of the deceased's drugs with him and they smoked together, when he claimed that "I smoked because I was afraid, because I really wanted to convey everything that happened because I couldn't and I couldn't believe that this was really what happened"; Defendant 1 informed him that he had spoken with the deceased's girlfriend and she said that the deceased had been burned and that they had not been able to find the body (ibid., at pp. 59-60).  To the question of defendant 1 in the confrontation how he could have gone to work, defendant 2 first replied that he had gone to work since he had gone to Sally and told her what had happened, and immediately afterwards he said that he had told her about it at the party.  When asked what he told Sally, he replied that he told her that he and Defendant 1 "went to kill a human being and that [Defendant 1] did everything and that he forced me to do these things and I did it out of fear...  I wasn't drunk, I went to Sally's and cried to her all night about what we did."  When he was told that Sally had testified that he had told her that they had murdered the deceased, but that he had said nothing about threats from Defendant 1 or that he was afraid of him, he replied that he was afraid of involving her too much; When he was told that he had told her everything, including the threats from Defendant 1, he replied that he had told her everything and she apparently did not remember; When asked why he had said earlier that he did not want to involve her, he replied that he did not tell her everything but told her that Defendant 1 was threatening him, and apparently she did not tell everything.  Later on, defendant 2 claimed that he was under pressure and could no longer hold things in his stomach, and therefore he told Sally about what had happened, but did not tell her everything, because he was afraid of the threats of defendant 1 (ibid., at pp. 39-41, 59-60).
