Regarding the claim that a normative person who claims to have committed acts following threats to his life and the life of his family, would come to a police station at the first opportunity and tell about the incident, but he did not do so, was active as appears from the phone calls before and after the murder, and even went to work and a party after the murder, he replied, "First of all, the reason I didn't go to the police because there was indeed a threat and he threatened me and I preferred to suppress it and forget and I couldn't tell anyone that I was afraid of my life, I went to work because I tried To escape from this situation and I went to the party because I both wanted to forget and told my friend everything. I'm not a partner, I didn't plan it, and I didn't know what [defendant 1] meant, and the conversation I had after there's something new and it was because I wanted to know what was going to happen with us after that, I tried to push it and I couldn't, and at the party I broke down and told it to Sally. I have no reason to take my life." When asked how the threat manifested itself after he went home, he replied that defendant 1 told him that if he opened his mouth or told someone, he would hurt him and kill his family, and "Even when I went home I was traumatized, and after you are in such a situation you are not like a normal person and you don't think like a normal person and there is a danger to your life and it can hurt my family. I could not have been in traumas and fears that you cannot describe" (ibid., pp. 166-186).
Summary of the defendants' testimonies in court
Testimony of Defendant 1
Defendant 1 testified that shortly before the incident, the deceased contacted him and offered to sell him drugs. As a result, he and defendant 2 came to the deceased's home to try the drug, and at the meeting it was agreed that the defendants would buy 75 grams from the deceased for a sum of NIS 3,000 to be divided equally between them. On the day of the incident, the deceased brought the drugs to the house of defendant 1 while he was at work and left them there, and they agreed that in the evening the defendants would pay him. According to him, in fact they did not intend to pay for the drugs, and before that they even tried to break into the deceased's house in order to steal the drugs, tried to enter through the door and windows, and when they did not succeed, they decided to scare the deceased and "give him a slap or two... I mean, bullying is what we call it," in order to evade payment (pp. 328-332, 396). In order to fulfill the plan, and since they did not want the neighbors to hear that they were beating him, the defendants planned to take the deceased to a dark, isolated and threatening place; And when the deceased arrived at the house of defendant 1, defendant 1 told him that the money was in the forest and that they did not want to complete the transaction in the house so as not to be caught by the police with the money and drugs in their possession, and the deceased agreed to this (pp. 335-336, 383, 407).
